Replying to: william31 (Jul 16, 2008 6:54 pm) That doesn't sound very likely. If it were true, no car in the world would run for 30 minutes after a battery replacement? NAH! It sounds like you have a bad alternator. I'd check that for charging rate, which could explain why you had to replace the first battery. If not that, have Autozone try to read the car's computer for a trouble code.

Replying to: william31 (Jul 16, 2008 6:54 pm) Assuming your 2002 is NOT DBW you likely need to clean the idle air bypass valve/channel.

Replying to: richplanck (Aug 11, 2008 5:37 am) Yes, problems solved. I called my mechanic and told him the problem. He said that most Imports after the year 2000 have this problem. He took my car and hooked it up to whatever it is they hook it up to and reprogrammed the systems and after about 2 hrs. everything was fine. No problems whatsoever. My mechanic did not even charge me for this. A coworker of mine had the same problem with her Jeep and the dealership charged her $250 for the same procedure. Good luck.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 13, 2008 8:17 am) I was questioning the same thing....doesn't really make sense. Perhaps the ECM lost its' microcode load in the power disruption somehow.

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 13, 2008 9:15 am) You mean like its RAM memory? Replies to this message: kiawah (Aug 13, 2008 1:37 pm) rearwheeldrive (Aug 13, 2008 7:10 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 13, 2008 11:41 am) Right, doesn't make any sense that the memory could be lost.....but if the solution was reloading the computer...then something must have caused the coding to be lost. Replies to this message: rearwheeldrive (Aug 13, 2008 7:10 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 13, 2008 1:37 pm) Dont make sense. Who can or what does reprogram a computer? Diagnostic yea. Reprogram, no. My Q started running fast at idle once. It happened after I couldn't get it started. It cranked but didnt have spark then it finally started and ran at 1200 RPMs steady. I shut it off and looked in the code book for fast idle it said remove Ox sensor connector while running then reconnect. It dropped to normal 700 RPM. Maybe I reprogramed my computer and didnt know it. It sounds more technical.

Replying to: william31 (Aug 12, 2008 4:46 pm) Hi, I'm also having the same problem after changinh my battery. Can you please tell me what re-programming needs to be done or contact information about your mechanic so I can call him and check with him. I'll appreciate your help. Thanks
