Car won't start and will reset. Good writeup shoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now know for sure that this is the same issue I have after much speculation. My revs have dropped below 500 on startup if the engine is warm enough! and also have the a/c idle problem. Is this bad for the car if left for a long time?Thanks again mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a ton of threads recently regarding this, so nice work!With the TPS/Cam phasing reset - I have read replies supporting both sides so I'm not really sure what it means.I heard the car should not start with foot to the floor while cranking - My car still starts! What does that mean? Is there something wrong?Cheers guys, hopefully this gets cleared up Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rekindling my love for mine Cheers for the info on the TPS reset (had no idea about it) did mine today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm still not sure what that even does, I can't even begin to try to figure out what is wrong.When I was doing a bit of research when my car was acting up, a number of T owners said that their cars also started when they tried the above... Bugger...Thanks guys,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
