Turn the engine on and let it idle for 20 minutes. Then take it for a 30 minute HARD drive then let it idle again for 20 minutes. Something to do with letting the car learn it’s new parameters
Should/ would the same principles apply?

E36 MAF
I'm in the process of recommissioning and restoring a '00 E36 318ti Compact Sport that has been languishing in my Mums garage for more than 3 years and have recently fitted a new MAF, ICV, battery and few other bits and pieces in the engine bay.
I just fired it up, let it warm through for 5 minutes as it had been standing for such a long time and went for a short 15 minute test drive. Everything working fine and drove perfectly. It has been driven some 500 miles now over the last month with no issues whatsoever
