    Don’t you typically reset the dash lights through codes in the cab? Like, my maintenance light resets by doing something like turning the key five times and pushing a button, I can’t remember because it’s been a few years.

      Not on the '14 VAG car my family member has - requires a scantool to reset intervals. I am not a new car toucher so I have no idea otherwise. I find carburetors relaxing and soothing. Anything with a PCB in a black box gets my hackles up, including my 2001 truck that suddenly recently decided to start running a high idle. If it were a carb, that’d be fixed with a scredriver and about five minutes… With this old Toyota it seems that I have to do a hail mary purchase of a refurbed ECU on the hope that it solves the high idle and A/C clutch not engaging below 1500RPM.
