Hey guys/gals,
When you reset the ECU (battery disconnect or whatever) the car ALWAYS feels stronger, more powerful and seems far more responsive.
I put this down to the car having to "learn" and adapt again.
So, Question:
Why is this so? Surely, if it feels quicker after a reset, then it must get "bogged down" or slower once it's adapted. Surely it would adapt to the best settings......
In other words, if indeed it is quicker - i can only assume it's pushing the engine harder - does this mean that it'll be seeing higher CF's on the cylinders etc? And if this is true, would it not push the car too hard and end up killing various engine components?
Just something I've always wondered - I reset my ECU today as the car didnt feel like it was running quite right (and i hadn't done this since fitting the new panel filter) and it's SOOO much better now!
