You haven't jump started it have you?

My Grandmother had her Pintara jump started by an NRMA guy (against his advice), because she was too tight to pay for a new battery, and it fried the ECU.

Had the same effect. Had to get a new one installed, and that cost her MUCH more than the battery would have...

Auto or manual?

I think its either an idle problem or something to do with spark. May also have a fuel supply problem
