Resetting ecu. Please someone help!

[si_pow]

Hey guyys n gals,

recently my car has been shaking LOTS during idle, it goes to stall when left but doesnt, it just sort of idles reeally weird and shakes the car loads. lol.

Ive done a little search and people said reset the ECU? Well i done that, and no better. It was only serviced last month so i dont know what it could be.

Please help?

could it be the air sensor going into the induction or something?

:n:

sorry... Forgot to mention, the garage said that my car had a lot of back pressure which is why it was spitting oil (i think from the dipstick), anyone know what causes this?

what did you do to reset your ecu? unplug the battery over night? check the spark plugs and there gaps. make sure all sensors are connected properly

[Sparco_Tom]

the oil out the dipstick sounds like a blocked oil breather. whip it off clean/check it

I disconnected it for about an hour and then left to idle for ages. I presumed it worked because idle was awful to begin with then got better?

I had a big of a problem with it spitting oil, so i put a new breather filter on it, and its done it again. Only does it occasionally now though, and only a little bit?

well thats not long enough 3-4 hours should do the trick for you. as for the oil im stumped how much oil is it burning

I'll go disconnect it now and leave it over night then mate.

Ive had to wrap a bit of cloth around the dipstick to stop it squirting up so theres not that much now, but before there was loads. Mechanic said he sorted and it was due to alot of back pressure :s

i disconected mine for 10 minits and that done it for me when my tuneing was to hell and my idle was wrong and yes wanted to die. is your coil pack ok? theres not to much oil in the system is there lol

[si_pow]

ive disconnected both connectors now, (as everyone seems to say different things) so im going to leave that over night and see how we do!Hopefull that will sort it, as its only just started to happen on sturday.

i the idling could be down too the idle control valve may need cleaning, for the burning oil i dont have a foggiest mate, you sure it def oil?
