Autopilot Rover
My Disco has parked for 3 months or so while I try regain the motiviation to work on it..
When it was parked it ran tip top (apart from driveline vibe). I took it for a spin around the block maybe a month ago, all good.
Yesterday the battery finally died. Wouldn't fire. So I boosted it and she fired up. Now the thing likes to drive itself. It's currently on jackstands and as soon as I put it in Drive it accelerated itself upto 60km.
Also if I rev it in neutral it will come back down then rev to 2000rpm'ish for 5 or so seconds before returning to a normal idle.
Absolutely nothing has changed other than the battery dying. Anyone ever heard of this?

What does this mean as far as resolution goes? Dealer only re-programming or something I can do myself?
I'd venture to guess to was dead for maybe 2-3 weeks. I'm not entirely sure though.

It will adapt as you drive for a number days, (perhaps not safe) or crank and let run in place each day. This simulates a "drive cycle". But I still believe that you exceed the default performance, so taking the IACV off and cleaning it is a cheap way to speed this process along. Can't hurt anything.

All over discoweb guys swear that yanking the battery terminal can NOT reset the adaptive learning.. I guess like everything so far, my truck is an exception to the rule.
