resetting the ecu will stuff up those things if u disconnect the battery terminal. or if those things are in the line which the fuse is off.Quote:

well i know which 2 i have to take out so i dont have to disconnect the battery terminal but how do i know if my alarm is in line with the 2 ecu fuses ?
as far as i m aware, any change to the intake which allows more air than what the ecu is used to, needs to have the ecu reset so i can learn/adjust to the new setting.Quote:

yeah i dont have one so ill be all sweet thanks and does it matter if that car is just warm when i do this or it has to be bone cold?
nah doesn't matter if its warm. or not.
I'd probably just do it one morning before you go to drive the car to work or something.
Just wake up and pull those two fuses, go start to get ready eat breakfast etc, pop the fuses back in and start her up. Let her warm up a bit then drive her to work nice and slowly going through the majority of the rev range.
yea say my car is unlocked, and i go reset my ECU, and it does have effect on my alarm,, yea i will still be able to go and get in car n start it but how do i lock it afterwards ? etc.
