There is a better way to reset the ECU and force it to learn the new mods and adjust the fuel/timing trims. Read the process a few times before you

Read the process a few times before you try to do this its ALL ABOUT TIMING:

1) With the key in your pocket/car, push the Engine Start button TWICE (so the car is fully on, but not started)
2) Within three seconds of the car "ON" (again NOT started), Floor (all the way down) and Release the gas pedal fully 5 times within 5 seconds. Do not do this too fast.. 1..2..3..4..5
3) Wait 7 seconds then floor the gas pedal and hold for 10 seconds. After that 10 seconds the Check Engine Light will start to blink slowly.
4) Release the pedal and floor it down once again and hold for 10 seconds. After these 10 seconds the check engine light will disappear then begin to flash much more rapidly. After you have done the following turn the car off and then back on. The ECU is now reset!!
This way, you don't have to reset the windows or the clock.

Is this the same as disconnecting the battery and hitting the brakes several times? I dont mind reseting the windows.

Does that really work? I am going to try it once I get my mods installed. Feels like you are entering a cheat for a video game lol.
