How do I go about resetting the ECU? Does this affect the car in any negative way?

 

Uh you read the stickies

 

I couldnt seem to find it. Would resetting the ECU be the same as the process to reset the "service engine soon" light?

 

yes
10 char

 

go read in the stickies and yes it will change the way ur car acts " "

 

how so?..does it affect performance? negatively or postively? Again I read them but I couldnt find exactly what I was looking for thats why Im asking.

 

the ecu will not change the way your car acts. i have reset mine all the time. some people say that the ecu "learns" to the car. and by reseting the ecu, it needs to "re-learn"i think this is a bunch of horse ****.

 

Thank you Mr.Duck for a serious answer. Now I know what to do. Just reset the sucker and hope for the best.

 

first of all, what is wrong with your car that you want to reset your ecu?

 

I installed a CAI and the car didnt seem to want it, it would stall. I reinstalled the stock intake but to no avail. After resetting the check engine light with that screw near the gas pedal the car seemed to be running good again. So I figured if I replace the stock with the CAI again and do the reset it should work. Right?

 

you can try that, is your CEL light coming on? if so pull the codes, i think i read a thread somewhere where a guy installed a CAI, and the engine ran kind of funny but it went away. so try and put the CAI back on, and leave it, reset the ecu after you install it, and try that.

 

Alright thanks alot man. Ill let you know if all goes well.
