Just want to say thanks for yesterdays ordeal!

I tried to reset my ECU myself and i got the SES to flash but i botched up somewhere in steps. So after work i took my MAX to Autozone to get the ECU reset. The guy did it in a flash. SES light is off and my baby is back to normal!

Thanks again guys!!!!

Yup thats the one, like i said, i botched up the steps because i had limited time, i was at work yesterday, so on my way home there was an autozone so i stopped there to have it done. It was free. They reset, and check codes for free. He hooked his hand computer underneath my dash and plugged away and reset my ecu.

Easiest way to the ECU reset so you want have any issues like that is to disconnect the neg terminal on the battery overnight.

I did it myself but found out that it won't work unless you use a watch and make sure your timing is perfect.
