dont listen to that mate, dissconnect the battery for an hour or two and all the values in the ecu will be reset.


when you start it up again dont throttle it atall just let it sort itself out for a min or so.

leave ya battery negative disconnected for 1-2 hours then start it up and let it idle for about 5 mins DONT touch the throttle or nefing..it mite cough n splutter a bit but after about 5 mins it'll be fine...it shud take a week or 2 to settle down properly after that
