I have noticed that my temperature gauge has gone up and down when driving long distances but as far as the idle problem, I have been having the same exact problem for a while now. It doesnt seem to drop when shifting or in neutral. Only when I stop completely. It drives me crazy. I read that someone recommended to change the ECTS. Im not sure what that is exactly. I just was told that it was my clutch which I found hard to believe. How much is the ETCS (around) and where is it located on the car? and sadly enough I have to ask what is it. Im supposing its a part of the computer but Im really not sure. Any help or suggestions would be so gladly appreciated..Thanks
