The ECU of your car is like its brain. For your car to deliver it's best performance you have got to stay it during a work condition the least bit times.

The following is how to reset your ECU, which all Honda technicians do prior to returning your car from the shop:

step 1: Ensure the car is at opperating tempreature (i.e., take it for a drive or let it idle for a 15 mintues).

step 2: Take the fuse for the ecu out -- on my s2000 its labeled "Backup" but do research on yours because it could be different -- wait 15 minutes.

step 3: Put the fuse back in.

step 4: turn the car on. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. GIVE IT NO GAS. let the car idle for roughly 15 minutes, or until the car is idling smooth at lower rpm's.

step 5: Turn the ignition off. ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE KEY. Immediately turn the ignition back on after you have gone to full off. this will store the new settings your ecu has made.

These steps will properly reset your ecu. After they are accomplished go do whatever, the new settings have been stored.
