Let me know if you can see this, if this is your problem, its fairly common

Basically *gently* clean the connectors, and apply a small amount of dialectric grease. Clear the codes and ride.
Great Information and thanks for the PDF.

Also, is this a normal occurance with a fly by wire setup?

thanks,


The idle is controlled by the ECM. It's a function of the engine temperature not the "fly-by wire".
