Can this be done by just unplugging the ECU or does it need some kind of software reset if so how do I go about either ?

Take the plug off, drop it on the floor, jump on it a few times, and then plug it back in, the word is, she'll fly like a hurricane on fire after that!





PS. just unplug the battery for a few minutes... that normally does the job, and it goes back to default map, then drive her like you like to drive with the fuel you would normally use, and after a miles, the ECU should adapt its map a little more to your liking... (hmm, I think thats how the MBE works)....

Could this also be done with turning off the silver key ?

How do I get to the ECU to unplug it, might be easier than the kill key or disconnecting the battery. I starting to stall after a hot restart now, need to keep the revs up for a while or else it stalls, once moving for about 1/2 mile everything is ok.

Jools, what do you think the cause could be, seem to be drinking a bit more than normal and now starting to stall after a hot start, ok when cold.
