ZPOST - View Single Post - Oil Sensor is defective and odd up and down idle

I read this on a forum regarding the idle issue....

Ok, fixed it! I took the ICV and cleaned it. However, I honestly believe it was the Throttle ECU. To reset insert key and turn to position 2 for 10 seconds, then off for 10 seconds then fire up the car. I didn't test them independently, but I'm leaning more toward the Throttle ECU needing a reset.

does this actually do anything? I'll give it a try since I don't see the harm. I didn't have any issues until the batter was dead and i pulled it out for a week while I waited for my new alternator. Could it just be a reset like what I posted?

Thanks.
