why reset ecu???
i was looking at this on another site:
Classic (JECS) ECU Reset
Classic (JECS) ECU Reset
- Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature, turn engine off
- Locate the two ECU connectors, located under the steering column and consist of a black plastic male and female connector, and a green male female connector
- With the ignition OFF connect black to black and green to green.
- Turn on ignition, do not start the engine, depress the accelerator pedal to full throttle, then return it to the half-throttle position and hold for a few seconds, and then release
- Engine Check lamp turns on
- 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.
- Stop the car and turn off the engine.
- Disconnect the black and green connectors.
- Job complete
