Hey guys , I replaced the alternator on my AU yesterday no problem except now the car wont idle .....I am not sure if its related to the alternator or not.
the red light on the dash has gone off and the voltmeter on the dash is reading normal again like its charging ....it runs and revs fine with no missing but now as soon as I take my foot of the gas it stalls...... the engine has done 254,000 k's and until now never let me down in 4 years and 120,000 km's ......

did you d/c the battery when replacing the alternator? if you did, try doing the relearn procedure. it may also be worth cleaning out the isc solenoid and around the throttle body with carby cleaner

when this happened to my car turned out the PCM had fried, all due to a alternator failure causing a power surge. but i'd be tempted to think the alternator you put in is dodgy.

ecu normally in a i6. powertrain control module...does it idle at all or do you have to even rev it when you start it?
as for the reset, as above is close enough, normally in park a/c off 2 min, drive a/c off 2 min, park a/c on 2 min, drive a/c on 2 min, then drive for a few km |

odd question, is the lead on the ISC connected and make sure there's nothing blocking the connection.

did u clean the ISC itself? ie did u remove and cleaned the gung out of it? as a short term solution you can set base idle through teh stop screw but thats last resort

No its still not sorted properly.....have got it to idle here and there but I think I need to reset the ecu and if that doesnt fix it then maybe get a plug in diagnostic done on it......hopefully that can give me an answer...
