Rep Power: 336 Also, you may want to reset your Fuel Injection ECU. If you don't your car will still eventually learn how to deal with the new mass amounts of air. This just makes the process a little faster.Thanks to 2k1civic.com member knight who posted this a long *** time ago.
To do this:
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!!!
got this from ph0ng
yeah
or u can just take out the battery

Rep Power: 0 question: when I got my car at the dealer, I didn't know how to drive manual. So i've learned within the few next days with that car (let me tell you, it wasn't fun ! the dealer is in downtown montreal with lot of steep hills ! hard time going back to my place hehe). Anyway, would it be good if i reset my ECU to be sure it adapted to the new way I'm driving ?
