Disconnect the battery for about 20 seconds.

Why do you feel it is necessary to reset the ECU?

(BTW, disconnecting the battery will reset the ECU, but cause more trouble than it's worth. Radio code reset, idle speed, etc. There is a better way.)

ECU Fuse

Let it adjust to the newly cleaned system (if he cleaned the IACV or FITV)

That's overkill

Fuse kills power to ECU

Battery kills power to ECU


one or the other

I cant find the dam fuse to the ECU. I heard it was labeled "back up fuse" but i didnt find one labeled that. What fuse number is it? Or which fuse box is it found in?

& does resetting the ECU correct or fix any idle problems?
I have mentioned my little idle problem recently and i believe its because of my new SRI & AEM filter.
Sometimes my car boggs out.
