Pull the ECU fuse for 10 secs. Or pull the NEG of the batt for 10 secs.

remember, if you have an alarm, itll go off when you disconnect the -terminal. it will also reset everything in the car (e.g. clock, all your important music stations) just pull tha fuse for about 30 secs and then restart car. let the car idle for about 5 minutes, then shut her off. restart again, and drive it like its hot.

This does absolutely nothin. It is a common Honda myth. I figured I would clue you in. Honda ECU's learn as they go along. Now, what this will do is reset your ECU if it has thrown a code, that is the only reason why you would ever have to do that.
