I changed the coolant in the ED today along with a new thermostat and now it idles like a pig. I changed the temperature sensor on the thermostat housing but it didn't help.
I checked and double checked everything but I'm at a loss to explain it.
If anyone has any ideas on what may be causing it to idle the way it does then I'd be greatful for any advice.

Was very careful and made sure no coolant got onto the dizzy. I might give resetting the ECU a go and see what happens. To reset the ECU you have to disconnect it for 15 minutes or something like that don't you? Then what has to be done once it's reconnected?
