After applying the oil & refitting the filter i took it for a drive and it seemed a bit sluggish on idle, infact worse and then it cut out....gave it a good thrashing and it was idling much better...excuse the blown bulb:tongue_smilie:

......at this point i was quite sure i had over oiled the filter:blushing:, took it out and there was oil in the air box.......:Fish: so took it out cleaned the airbox washed the filter again.....Oiled again this morning (correct amount for IS filter is 1.25oz (i had used about 2 yesterday:Chair
....and it should look like this:thumbup1:![[Image: IMG_0515.jpg]](http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy86/AIYA_Z/Misc/IMG_0515.jpg)
so its idling much better now, i just need to keep an eye on whether it cuts out when coming to a stop as it was before

K&N Filter Cleaning - John G - 11-04-2018
this whole resetting the ecu malarky, how do you know if youv done it right, i removed both fusses for 5 mins but how do you know thats worked?
K&N Filter Cleaning - steviewevie - 11-04-2018
Looks good SHAHZ. What state was that water in though ?
hock:Resetting the ECU John, you only need to leave the fuses out for a few seconds really, 30 seconds is recommended. So 5 minutes will be more than enough and it will definitely have reset if you took out the right fuses (ECTS and EFI).

Dean that were a Auto should be around 700 to 800.
Otherwise as it goes in to gear it will cut out.

Marsdendean ^^^ How much is the kit steve?
The K&N cleaning kit (cleaning solution plus oil) is around a tenner. Opie Oils have it here, or you will find it on eBay (search for "K&N cleaning").
