Take a wild guess.

is the above procedure just for fuel economy, or would it give potentially more performance?

ps - anyone know where to get cheap ignition leads (available to UK) for AE92?

I would say it would restore power and economy in case bad ECU programming has screwed around with your maps.

I'll agree with the reseting of the ecu. Most ecu's constantly adapt to changing conditions. However is there is any modding done, even as simple as a intake, you need to reset it. Even though they adapt, the change is just to much, and they go nutty. Like they're drunk or something.
However I do not agree with the specific driving program. I just think its a waste of time. It doesn't matter if you drive the car hard or like an old lady, it will adjust to the new conditions. Whenever I reset mine I drove it hard. Mostly because I had just installed something, and wanted to (not always did) notice a difference.
Most of my experience was with my 96 firebird, so I could very well be wrong. One time on the bottle the maf sensor was frozen because of the n20, and the car just shut off. A lot of fun when you're over 100 mph!

Another question:
I have an AE101 corolla MT (1995). What if I just disconnected the ECU from the car and let it stand for a few minutes?
My car also idles at various speeds. Sometimes it idles at 1k, sometimes at 1.5k. I usually turn of the engine and restart, preload the engine with the clutch,or ignore it. Either option I chose, the idle speed drops. I have already replaced the throttle and it's still the same.

Yes, that would also reset it.

would this work for a 4afe engine too, mine runs like shit.....idles pretty rough at times...espec on a cold night

hey man this works on every gen. of 4age?

***REN69*** · 11-06-2006, 01:56 AM

Works for any car basically, but remember that the ECU is not always the problem as there could be other things causing the problems with your cars.

Didn't notice this wasn't a sticky anymore.
