Any misfires? (Flashing SES light)

You may just need to redo the idle relearn procedure. I don't have that info handy right here, you might try a search on it.

Rob,
What are you using for plugs? NGK TR6, Autolight 105? I know some people have had problems with the Autolights under idle situations. I have an M6 trans and run with the autolights and they work great for me. Just another idea for you to check into

I had the same problem with the 103s, I changed them to tr6s and the idle is perfect and it runs great.I think the 103s are to cold for auto.
