Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 can i reset my cars computer manually or is that a dealer thing... my uncle seems to think that my hesitation is not ign related but PCM related, thinks the settings might be off for my style of driving. makes sense cause the computers "learn" our driving habits right, or do they always relearn?

birdman Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 unhook the battery for like 10 mins, and tada!! done. Quote
Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 is that the same as "flashing" the computer? thats what my uncle called it Quote
turby Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 is that the same as "flashing" the computer? thats what my uncle called it Flashing is actually loading new software in the computer. Quote
Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 ok so unpluging the battery will not have any negative effects? Quote
ToroToro Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 You'll have to reset your radio presets, but otherwise it's fine. Quote
Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 oh noes!!!!!!!1!!!1 i will give that a try later when it stops raining Quote
birdman Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 it may run slightly funny but go for a 5-10 min drive and it'll be fine. Quote
turby Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 ok so unpluging the battery will not have any negative effects? No. May idle rough for a short time. Quote
Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Posted April 9, 2006 is that part of the idle relearn process? and i just looked, my cables arent the easiest to get to, do i have to take just the neg or just the pos or both off? Quote
