:idea: cookie for you :)

yeah, if u r talking about reseting the tip ECU so it clears all the stuff it has "learnt" (and error codes if there's any), then i'm pretty sure u just have to disconnect the battery.

um... yes and no...


i just reset my ecu 2 days ago (not sure if u would remember but i was freaking about an ideling problem with my car, but it turned out that it was just a broken wire lol, but while fixing that realised my negetive terminal was loose, so i took it off, cleaned it then put it back)


long story short, i reset my ecu, and i do have "shifting problems" compared to what the car was like... but i prefer the setting now than before lol.

i excellerate lard-ish than cruise, and i think the guy before me just grandma-ed everywhere lol, so my shifts are later than i am used to, but actually it suits my driving better now than before.


what did you mean by shift probs>?
