But if the outside temperature was reading 5C or under (likely) then the climate will have turned itself off ;) :y

Pedal trick for missfire codes. Suspect ac pump not actually running, iirc the idle is a fraction higher with ac running and might feel a little smoother, certainly my preface lift did, although it's not so noticeable on the dbw cars ime.
