Nope but it doesn't seem as obvious now and I reckon its the warmer weather that's making the difference cos I haven't done anything to it!

My car did some funny idle stuff a while ago - slow to come down to idle when stopping, and as soon as I let it roll down hill, the idle came up ~1300rpm. After a bit of wondering, and calling dealer, I pulled the battery lead off for a few mins, problem gone. In fact it ran better than before.
Try it - all you lose is your radio presets.

took mine into the dealer and all they did was check for codes and did a reset and the issue's gone.
Isn't that the first step when fixing electronics, turn it off then on.
Then if that doesn't work hit it

Aircon compressor cycling?

Reccomend getting the MAF sensor/panel filter cleaned and a Throttlehappy/Kido tune...

Cured 90% of my drivability woes :D
