digitaloutsider Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 5-speed cars don't need/have idle relearn do they? I know this a stupid question, but I'm just curious. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Posted September 21, 2005 How would you perform it? All the instructions I see are like "put the car in drive with your foot on the brake", which you obviously can't do with a 5-speed. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 mine doesn't seem to require any idle relearn. i don't know if it is something Jay did to the chip or what, but i've disconnected the battery several times and pulled the memcal once and it starts up and idles just like normal every time so far.

99RegalGS Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah, The idle relearn process for 5 speeds is easy. 1.Start car 2.Walk away for 5 minutes 3.Enjoy Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 if you have a parking brake Quote
GP1138 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 I think it's because the 5-speed chip is always in "Drive", and if you have the parking brake on, it's just like the instructions for an auto relearn. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious. Quote
1990lumina Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 if you have a parking brake In your case find a nice level area first, then do above instructions Quote
ShockTherapy Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 if you have a parking brake In your case find a nice level area first, then do above instructions invest in some wheel chocks. Quote
gp90se Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 i dunno, ive never done a relearn on any of my w-bodys and yet to have idling issues Quote
fastbird232 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 That's odd, I pulled the battery on my old '89 SE and it took two trips around town before it would quit stalling out at every stop (after I put it back in, of course). Quote
1990lumina Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Yeah my damn Lumina will rev up and down like a mofo if I don't relearn it after disconnecting the battery. It's wierd how some people don't have to do anything though. Are their any other vehicles out there that you have to relearn the idle after the computer losing power?? Quote
Dan94Z34 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 na dont need wheel chalks, a 2x4 works just as well . My friend had a chevy truck that had the linkage reversed on it, so it had no park.....well yeah it did a cinder block. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 My Z34 doesn't need a relearn nor did my old one. Quote
