Re: Resetting the ECU
just wanted to add that what i do to reset the computer is disconnect the battery and then turn the headlights on. leave like that for 20 minutes and the capacitors will be fully drained. then turn the lights off and reconnect the battery. then:
1) Start the engine, and allow it to idle for 2 minutes.
2) Shut it off, and wait 10 seconds.
3) Start the engine, and turn on all accessories (fan on high), and let it idle for 2 minutes.
note that i have noticed that after doing all this, my stang usually takes a day or two to run well as the idle will be crap until i put the car through a good 5 or 10 minute highway ride with some accelleration. guess the computer must relearn everything and it can't learn it all in 4 minutes. just my 2 cents.
