Could someone pls tell me how much remapping the ecu is likly to cost and how to reset it also,thanks.

 

A remap costs about £500 I think. You reset most ECU's by unplugging them and leaving them for half an hour. Take care to earth yourself when removing it as static can damage it.

 

what model and what year is your car?

 

Its a Impreza 5 door my97 turbo.

 

If you ask MRT they tell you to do the following:

ECU clear memory procedure is as follows for auto and manual transmissions:

With engine at operating temperature, turn engine off. Place gear shift lever into park (auto transmission cars only)
Locate the two ECU check connectors, for most cars they are located under the steering column and consist of a black plastic male and female connector, and a green male female connector. The exact location of the connectors varies with the different year models, but generally they are located under the steering column on the drivers side.
NOTE: sometimes they are still taped over with some small amount of plastic tape, so look hard, they will be there!
With the ignition OFF connect black to black and green to green.
Turn on ignition, do not start the engine, (and for auto transmission, cycle the gearshift lever from park to neutral and back to park ), depress the accelerator pedal to full throttle and hold for a few seconds, and then release.
Start engine and then drive for at least one minute, keeping road speed above 11 Km/h.
ECU is now re-set.
At this point the check engine light should start to flash the all clear signal (steady 1/2 second interval flashes). If the check engine light does not flash, or indicates some other sequence, there is a fault present in the system, and should be professionally checked for necessary repairs.
Once, stop the car and turn off the engine.
Disconnect the plugs.
Job complete

Hav'nt done it though, so I don't know if it's a valid way to go!!

 

I've used this method a couple of times (have DeltaDash so just press a button now instead) and it works a treat. Much quicker than leaving it for an hour without battery power.

 

Thanks for ur help guys i'll try that.
