I have a stock 96 Civic LX, and I recently added one of those little chips that connects to the IAT wires and changes the fuel richness. That little thing made my spark plugs misfire, and I took it off later that day. However, I still recieve the "Check Engine" light on my dash. All the wires are in their original locations, and I reset my ECU by pulling the fuse. What now? I can't think of anything else to do.

yep you need to reset the ecu.
just wait overnight with the fuse pulled. it should go away.

When I pull the fuse, do I need to disconnect the battery as well?

Kamin

no
only one or the other.

Overnight? I unplugged my baterry while changine my engine oil and it was enough to get rid of my misfire code.

Kamin

well technically its supposed to be 15-45 seconds.
but sometimes that works.
sometimes it dosent

so i just say overnight.

Thanks for your help. I had unplugged the engine for a few minutes as well as the fuse for a few on its own, and nothing happened except my keyless entry now works. However, overnight solved it. Thanks for the advice. =D

BTW how long do I have to be a noob? 5 posts a day is bad.

heres a easier way.............. take the positive cable of the cars harness off the battery and connect it to the ground side of the battery for 10 secs. This runs all the power out of the car and resets the ecu in no time!
