ECU Reset Beware

Let me start by saying, I’ve never once been unfaithful to my G35. We’ve had an intimate relationship. We shared thrilling stop and go traffic, long blasts through the countryside, and quiet moments in the garage.

Still I itched for change. Against my better judgment, and in no small part with the encouragement of my fellow G35drivers, I performed the delicate act of ECU reset. She resisted my first feeble attempts but could not fight off my repeated advances. Her “check engine” light flashing, she gave in to my carefully timed combination of accelerator thrusts and lifts.

Since I reset her, she hardly recognizes me. Our first drive she murmured, “Is that you Jackie?” She shifted as though we’d never met. Her acceleration was aggressive, she made mad raspy sounds and our once private connection was now a long forgotten memory. We had been soft-wired to know each other’s needs, every nuance had been programmed, each stab of the throttle, each lift and each prod. All that remains is this new and awkward relationship. Like ill-matched dance partners, we both try to lead. When I want an up shift, she holds a gear.

Now I regret ever questioning our relationship. Is there any chance I’ll get her back? If so, how many miles will I have to wait?

calejohnson... wow, your post reminds me of the movie, "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind." it sounds like you'll have to deal with your lobotomized partner until she re-learns everything. but females can be quick learners, so hang in there!

Calejohnson-
She will respond to your touch.....but be gentle, kind and patient with her.
Her young body may need some very special TLC..

When you're done, go have a shower......You're having way too much fun.

Shock treatment is the only answer. Find a big diesel pick-up with a marine cold-crank battery and let her have it.

She'll come around.

Great post. I was forced to reset when I fiddled with my G's tailpipe. I thought she was ready but I guess not.
