OK..... I pulled off the manifold yesterday to polish it. Put everything back together today and the car starts but it doesnt want to idle and it also backfires at idle. What could it be??

well i did a ton of work on my car and had to rest the TB as for some reason when i unpluged it the ecu kind of freaked out and such...... i also had a probelm where the car was over laoding the cylinders w/ gas due to the fact teh tb wasnt working and it floded 2 cylinders....... but that was easy to fix..... maybe this is the same probelm your having?.... do u have a vag-com around to check stuff w/?

did you damage an injector bung while polishing?

How do you reset the TB?

but i also did it w/ my vag-com i think its block 060?..... im not sure off the top of my head.....

TTRPM

So you cant reset it by hand?

carsluTT

it needs to recalabrate its self and such.... all stuff that goes through the ecu..... sorry...

i could be totly worng but i know when i did work on my manifold my car seemed to run like yours and once i did the tb calabratoin all seemed to be better!.... could of just be luck but i dont think it was...... i cant remember where but i swear i read u have to recalabrate the Tb evey time its unpluged........ maybe if your lucky u can dirve your car enough to have it automaticly calabarte.....

Open the driver's door. Turn ignition on (don't start). Wait 3 minutes. Done.
