Does reseting the ECU makes a different after installing an intake or exhaust?

yea, it does. it makes the computer in your car relearn your system.. like if you get a new intake, after you install it you should reset the ecu so that the system can relearn that you have a new intake and will adapt to the airflow that it takes... at least thats what someone told me

^ OFF. ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif) Think about it, if your ECU tells your car how to run and you cut power to it... ![spineyes spineyes](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/spineyes.gif) hehe, the reason I didn't say how is cause it's good for people to looks up the installs and stuff themselves, there's lots of interesting things in there. ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif)

the fuse method allows you to keep things like your radio and clock settings ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif) but unhooking the negative terminal on the battery works too.

yeah just do the negative battery terminal one. Leave it off for 10 mins then warm up the car for a bit and then take her for a spin!!
