At least, thats my take on it all. The harder you drive after ECU reset, the more the car comes alive. Just my opinion. It could all be in my head, but who cares.

RESET ECU alternative method
Yea I looked at a few threads, sounds like there are a couple different methods to do it involving disconnecting the negative battery terminal and then a few other steps. Sounds like the procedure for it is in the manual. il have to check it out later tonight. I can probably benefit from resetting it considering I have an FI CBE and the drop ins. The drop ins I consider 1/2 a breathing mod. So I have 1.5 breathing mods which I don't NEED a tune for but this ecu reset might be perfect.
