any ideas why the ecu would keep resetting itself each time the car is restarted?

the garage boys said a fault code on their trusty faultometer indicated that the ecu was resetting itself...no elaboration...their doesn't seem to be any odd symptoms - seems to start fine and run fine. of course if its been doing it all the time i wouldn't have way of knowing what it should be like...its lumpy below 1700 revs

idles fine, and revs smoothly upwards but shunts/stutters etc in higher gears as the revs fall - makes cruising at low revs a bitch. anyway...does this have anything to do with the ecu forgeting everything its learnt each time the ignition is switched off?

any way to smooth it out - obviously its a different animal but other 8s i've had happily cruised at low revs - is it a cam thing or is it linked to the ecu
