Pull ECU fuse or neg. batt. cable. Leave out/off for3-5 minutes at least. I recommend resetting your ECU after every/any modification. Don't touch throttle after your ECU is reset, let idle for a few minutes, then turn off engine, start agian, then drive...

NO! Do NOT do this with the car running!

You shut the car off. Then you pull the clock/radio fuse under the hood. Keep it out for at least 20-30sec to make sure the volitile memory in the ECU drains of all power and empties out. Then plug it back in. Restart the car. Let it idle for a bit and off you go...
