Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share 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?

Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 ok so unpluging the battery will not have any negative effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 You'll have to reset your radio presets, but otherwise it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam'ron Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
