I have heard people talking about resetting the ECU to gain some power. How would you do this?

 

you disconect the battery for 12 hours. and then it will be reset.

 

Not sure about more power bro, but disconnectiong the battery for 12 hrs. will erase any tranny shifting memory. It tends to learn 'soft' shifting.

And to clarify...this is only for the AT's...right ?

For the effect on shifting, yes, that's the AT. But for MTs, wouldn't there still be some effect with regard to fuel use? I mean, if you're running in low rpms most of the time, isn't the computer going to send a different ratio of fuel to the engine than if you're at the top end? I think this computer tries to give you smooth performance rather than maximum performance, what with it being a luxury car, so it will still resist making abrupt changes to what it's doing if you stomp the pedal.

Mind you, that's just a theory, I don't actually know if there's any relation.

That's right bro, Only A/T's. Don't think resetting the ECU has any effect on 6M/T's.

Actually GSM, based on what we are finding out about the ECU, this may actually help some of the 6 speed cars. Anyone want to try it and let us know, Sedan and Coupe?

 

That's good news. It must change air & fuel metering, maybe timing and the like.
Someone disconnect the batt. on their 'slow' 6M/T and let us know.
