i think you just turn the car off and disconnect the battery (just disconnecting the red terminal should work fine) for like 5 mins. that should do it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

A) Open the fuse box in your engine compartment and look on the diagram for the F.I. ECU (7.5 amp fuse)
B) Pull the fuse out and wait 10 minutes or longer.
C) Put the fuse back in.
D) VERY IMPORTANT - Start the car, and DO NOT touch the gas peddle!!!
E) Let the car idle for about 10 minutes, DO NOT toch the GAS!!!
F) Turn off car.
G) Turn on car, and turn back off.
H) Turn back on, and make some noise!!!

All of this previous info has been aquired by doing a search on the forums. I know some of you are lazy (me), but try it out sometime.


If you don't reset your ECU, it'll reset over time (don't know exactly how long). It basically balances your Air to Fuel ratio, giving optimum performance.
