Picked up my car Thursday from the dealership and now it has a rough idle when cold, hanging at 1500-2000 RPMs and feels like its about to die when I start it up. Do you think resetting the ECU may fix this? They replaced an o2 sensor, IMRC and the temp sender (coolant leak)
 
Hommie is right...maybe a reflash is in order?
It's the dealer who is responsible for taking care of problems with your car when it's under warranty...ESPECIALLY if it's an SVT (make sure they wash it inside and out when they finish working on it!)
I'm at my dealer whenever I have an issue with ANYTHING with my '02 SVT, no matter how small

Yeah, I am going to call them tomorrow. I have been swamped with classes finishing up this week. Also, they didn't fix the heated seat. However, I do not have issues with this dealership at all. They call and give me status reports every day that the car is in the shop, always friendly, no hassles with rentals, etc etc. I will call them up and I am sure thet they will fix it. It sounds a lot like what YRF0 was meant to take care of. Rough idle, nearly dying (battery light) etc.

So I got a call from them today, apparently an EGR hose was loose when they put something back together (either the IMRC or the thermostat housing) and it came loose which was causing my issue.
 
I dont think we have EGR on our SVT's......... If I'm wrong I'm SURE someone will step in.

I can smell the Stealership BS from here in KY.

Yeah, I also found it kind of strange that if they were reconnecting it, why it would take another day...
I will see if they call me today

So they called again, and told me they needed the car one more night because it was the intake. The guy was kind of short. Methinks that they messed something up when they installed the parts last time and they are keeping me in the dark about it.
