iacv .........do i need to reset ecu
a few weeks ago my car had the iacv problem with the engine light on .i got my code scanner on it and removed the engine light then cleaned the iacv and new gasket .thing is my car seems to be in a limp mode state would the ecu need resetting if the iacv and engine light appear .running 0.5 bar .not had the car long .any software downloads i can get on laptop and use my code reader wire to reset ecu .its mapped and was (supposed to e running 320 -330 but its never felt quick .

@ossett2k2 no ive only got a cheap code reader atm so all ive done is clean the iacv out and delete the code .so ecu hasn't been reset yet .ive tried all the normal things like the pill and the bcs and ive cleaned that out too .all pipes go where thy should .ive even taken the pipe off the actuator and still hits and holds 0.5 bar .which would suggest limp home mode i would think .my afr readsings are spot on too .never had any probs like this before .god i miss evos hahaha .

The cable to read and reset the ECU is very cheap you will also be able to datalog so will have a better idea of whats going on.
If your'e not bothered about datalogging then i think you can buy for under £10 a bluetooth ecu reader which will you can link up to your smartphone or pc and will let you reset.
Also,not sure on this one as i have classics but i've heard people say disconnecting the battery and holding the brake pedal down for a bit will reset the newage ecu?
