Resetting your ECU: After mods and Environment changes. - Honda Acura Forum

I found this link in another forum.

resetting the ecu is a good idea after mods, and allowing it to "re-learn" the right way with the idle procedure is a good idea too.

I reset mine with the tides.

well i've had my CAI since i got my car back in August. I'm just going to unplug the battery, let it reset and see if it made a difference. Hopefully i don't get a cel...

***0720Steve*** · 01-03-2008, 01:14 AM

it shouldn't....but i doubt you'll notice much. you should just have some peace of mind to know it was done the right way though.

***CaliGuy*** · 01-03-2008, 01:14 AM

This should be common knowledge to anyone doing any engine mods!

ziwang55 · 01-03-2008, 01:29 AM

im afraid that they car will immobilize my keys like last time!!!

navigator_04 · 01-04-2008, 11:33 AM

So, i went ahead and did a reset on my ECU last night....No joke but my car shifts smother from 1st gear to 2nd!!! Before the reset it was very difficult to get a nice transition from 1st to 2nd.
