Replying to: eli8 (Mar 17, 2008 1:08 pm) Hi All,   I am from singapore and have heard from our local authorized honda dealer that this is a problem with the ECU for the 2008 Honda Fit.   Unfortunately it will require a reset of the ECU and there is a special machine required for this which is not yet available outside Japan. Only JDM Fits will benefit from the reset. Exported versions may have to live with this problem until the machine is deployed to authorized service centers.   Seems to be reliable info as the dealer showed me the email coming from Japan. I have just ordered the new Fit and I hope the ECU has already been corrected for this problem.   Please do keep us posted on any feedbacks from your distributors if they have the same info.   GP Replies to this message: lewjac3 (Mar 20, 2008 4:30 pm) gpahilan (Mar 21, 2008 1:34 am) lewjac3 (Mar 21, 2008 4:18 pm)

Replying to: gpahilan (Mar 18, 2008 1:14 am) Gp, what is a ECU? I am seriously thinking of getting the 2009 when it comes to the USA. Replies to this message: gpahilan (Mar 21, 2008 1:34 am) lewjac3 (Mar 21, 2008 4:18 pm)

Replying to: smile100 (Feb 22, 2008 9:03 am) A follow-up.   My 2008 Honda Fit finally broke in. Now she has average 40-42 mpg (after 6000 miles). I am happy. The idle speed backs to 700 rpm most of the time.
#40 of 43 US Fit idle speed by gsakala Aug 04, 2008 (5:28 pm)
Just had my Fit in for its first oil change and check up today. My idle speed with the engine warmed up has been in the 800 to 900 rpm range since day one. The dealership told me the factory spec for US Fits was 750 +/- 50 rpm. That sounds high to me, what have you others seen and heard? Gregg Replies to this message: feddup (Aug 05, 2008 7:55 pm)

Replying to: gsakala (Aug 04, 2008 5:28 pm) It sounds right on the money. I believe mine idles around 800 and has for nine months.
