Take off the negative side of the battery for 10 seconds and that will reset your ECU, or you can pull a fuse, I forgot which one.

I doubt your car will run that much better.

Search button does wonders on this forum.

Any time you change or mod anything on your engine I would reset it. Doesn't hurt and might help.
