   just out of interest, when you first start your vts in the morning what does it idle at?
   
   Mine has always been over 1k just then settles to just under 1k after a few minutes.
   Lately its had cruise control and revving itself again
   think its the temp sensor after some investigation.
   
   But today i started it, idled like my VTR used to around 800rpm and wasnt lumpy
   
   wtf ha
   
   just interested to see what others idle at.
