I can do it on bikes too, as the controls are properly organised.

Not always so, some cars don't lend themselves to the technique and it requires a lot of practice to master effectively.Eddie Honda wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 1:35 pmYou can do with manuals too, since your right foot is perfectly capable of operating two pedals.
Speaking of organs, those organ-type accelerator pedals are the best bloody design going.

I can't stand organ pedals, they make my ankles ache.
But I might have only tried crap examples, I think they were BMWs and vans.

Okay, after startup, the car has a perfect idle. Weirdly, pulling the connector off the idle stepper motor doesn't change a thing, it just keeps idling perfectly fine. If you then just blip the throttle, it doesn't revert to idling, it stalls immediately.
At other times, it just works perfectly fine throughout.

Do these old 405s have an ecu then, or how does this idle motor know what to do?

And there is me, thinking I just have conclusively proven that this part is not at fault.
