I had it off for 2 hours... then i asked my freind and he said to do somthing like this http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~cchiu1/images/reset.gif and i dunno where this box looking thing is to do it so how long is while to reset the ecu?

Its on the driver footwell on the right side. Remove the panel (its held on by snap off screws) and look for a metal box with a sticker on it. Poke through the sticker and follow the directions. BTW, I have a feeling that you are sooo screwed.

then you didn't reset it properly..

turn the key in the car in the ON position when the lights on the dash are lit up... turn the ecu screw clock wise till it stops.. then count to 2, turn it anti clock wise till it stops.. count to 2, turn it clockwise again till it stops.. count to 2, then turn anti-clockwise until it stops and you are done
