Hey Guys

Since Clint is doing an excellent job organizing the dyno day and tabulating the results, we will be able to make some reasonably valid comparisons with respect to what various mods do on the same car, etc.

I'd like to offer the following. Lets all reset our ECUs NOW, followed by a few days of driving. This will allow for your ECU to learn and provide for a more valid car-to-car comparison.

Gurgen

 

Gurgee,

Does it matter if you do the pedal stomping reset or the battery disconnect reset?

Do not know... it may. The info is conflicing.

Here is what you can do.

1) Battery disconnect.
2) the MAF disconnect method (according to the FSM it will clear the long term fuel trim). You disconnect the maf wire harness (do not unbolt the maf housing/etc) and start the car. It will run very rough and VERY VERY rich. But no worries, you only need to do it for 5 seconds. Stop the motor. Reconnect the MAF wire. Do the pedal reset. Now, this method should really NOT be used. Use it only if you really do NOT want to disconnect the battery.

Gurgen

 

Gurgz,

I'll disco the battery tomorrow night and drive it hard until saturday.

Great suggestion Gurgen. The battery disconnect should be sufficient.

Those who wants to caravan to the location ... feel free to start a new thread about it. I know I'll be interested in one for the Diamond Bar/Rowland Heights area.

Clint (THX723)

 

Absolutely... the battery method is #1.

Some people however do NOT want to lose all their NAV/stereo presets. So doing method #2 is a compromise, a "better-than-nothing" option, and should be done only if you absolutely don't want or can't disconnect the battery.

 

Awesome... I'm dying to know what I'll pull after all this....

Gurgen

 

The NAV settings are non-volatile ... thank god. Only the radio stations will be lost.


Clint (THX723)

 

Oh ok. I thought they were volatile; didnn't know since mine is aftermarket.

 

well I can't make it, my car will still be at the bodyshop
