I have a CAI and now a Mugen header on my car, and was wondering if I need to reset my ECU to make everything run better? Sometimes when I come to a stop the car would almost stall out when I had the intake alone on it. The dealer installed the intake so I don't think they would have reset anything there. Let me know please.

 

An ECU reset wouldn't hurt, but it isn't a must. The ECU will eventually relearn everything, but it will just take longer without a reset.

 

How do you reset the ECU?

 

Fuse box under the dash.
2nd fuse down on the right. The first slot will be empty so the 2nd fuse is located in the 3rd fuse slot.

I prefer to just wet my balls, and lay them across the battery terminals for about 30 seconds. It works every time.

 

Of course, then I have to clean off my valve cover...

 

Can't you just disconnect the neg battery cable for a couple of minutes to get the ECU reset?

 

You can, but it is less effort to just pull the fuse for a couple minutes. If you disconnect the battery, then you have to reprogram your stereo.
