    Car idling funny after oilchange

    All i did was change the plugs(ngk to bosch) change the oil and flush the collant and the car is acting like its rellearning to idle(has 19lbd injecter and markd chip) idle is erratic and when it does calm down is high @~900-1100 rpm, beofre it was steady at 750 any ideas?

        Check the gap on the plugs you switched out to make sure they are in spec

            is it possible over time the vicosity breakdown of the oil taught the ecu to have x pulse width and w the higher viscosity of the fesh oil it is now idling high? maybe i should reset the ecu?

                E30s aren't that smart. I would bet you accidentally knocked something and something came unplugged.
