When to reset the computer and how?

Post by 05srt4clone » Thu May 26, 2005 8:12 pm

Recently installed a CAI. Was thinking ot reset the computer because of the added cold air. Do I need to and how do I go about it?

Won't really do much but it doesn't hurt anything. Just disconnect the battery for a little bit and reconnect it.

Well I saw somewhere else on another board there is a button on the computer or something. That's why I was asking. While I was installing the CAI the battery was disconnected so I guess I reset it.

most people will say either the negative battery terminal. Ive seen some posts where some say you can yank the fuel pump fuse for 5 minutes too.

To completely reset the computer w/o a DRB tool, disconnect the neg terminal from the battery, while it is disconnected, turn and hold the ignition key in the start position for 30 sec. Reconnect battery term, start car, and drive.

You can also disconnect the negative cable, get in front of your car, open the engine compartment fuse box, spin yourself around twice, blink your eyes three times, and do a handstand for no less than 4 seconds. Re-cover the fuse box, reconnect the cable and you're all set.

:D
