well, i was wondering if how to reset my ecu for when i goto colorado.

i currently live in missouri, and when i goto colorado, my car is way underpowerd due to the altitude. and was curious on how to change this.

 

Unplug the battery for 10 mins. Plug it up again, turn on the car, all accesories off, and let it IDLE for 5 mins.

welcome to colorado, where all the cars feel underpowered

I can't even imagine how well my car would run at sea level. It's slow as hell here. I need a turbo bad

 

I think you can also pull the fuse for the ECU under the hood in the fuse box next to the battery. That way, all of you clocks and stereo won't reset.

 

well yeah, i goto colorado in the winters, and when i get ther its just soooo fugin sluggish.

feels like im running with my a/c on times 2.


just wanting to figure this out so when i get ther it runs at normal.

 

lol, ya im on CO just got a car from ot of town, wonder if i should reset my ecu also, but i hear that you gota have a key for CD player afterwords and i dont have that.

 

meh..... i dont have a stock player, so i just need to reset the ecu i guess when time comes.

and btw, what part of denver are u from? im thinking aout moving ther in the next coming summer after my winter in vail.

 

westminster, like 5 in away from denver

 

why does colorado have low octane pts

 

I have never driven any car at sea level before. It has always been 4800 feet up. Utah has lower octane points too, I would think higher altitudes would need to have higher octane ratings, but what do I know?

 

you can find 98 octane around some places
