Do the pedal method, but make sure you execute it properly. You WILL NEED a hand watch to time out the steps properly. As soon as you complete the ECU reset, immediately take your car out on a empty road and redline every single gear, up until youre at about 100-120. I highly suggest doing this late at night for obvious reasons. Do about 3-4 0-120 runs. This will basically force your ECU to "learn" youre an aggressive driver and it will apply more aggressive tuning maps for better throttle response and added power. And no, I dont condone reckless speeding nor street racing

Thanks for all the good information guys. She just had to relearn a few things, but now she's driving better than ever.

Thanks

Does anyone know if I have to reprogram the radio stations if i pull the negative battery cable off for 12 hours to reset the ecu? I put my cable back on and my radio presets were still there. They should have been needed to be rest I thought. H0w do I know if the ecu was reset?

Thanks
