WAYNE1 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Googling says either cruise control of ESP...electronic stability program. does it alter the tick over, at all has its only ticking over at 600-800 revs when warm and has a slight miss when setting off, but doesnt affect it once driving and changing gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
