ECU - how long to 're-learn' settings??
« on: 15 April 2009, 17:40 »
how long does it take for the ECU to re-learn the engine settings?

i cleaned out the throttle body/butterfly and just wondering how long it will take for the ECU to adjust :laugh:

Disconnect your battery for 30mins then let the engine run for 30mins is what I did. Noticed the revs move for a min or so.

ECU Monitors engine settings all the time and adjusts so engine runs at its best  :smiley:

as above if you want 2 reset ECU just remove battery for 30mins
