Stew Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 The way you count is important. try different counting methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 helps to do it with a watch so you count accurately which is important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 One thing i did realise after I finally did reset the ECU is that when it says to pump the accelerator 5 times within 5 seconds, you must wait 5 seconds before you continue. ie. if you only take 3 seconds to pump the accelerator 5 times, you mus still wait 2 seconds before you start the next thing. Oh and im sure that i had to wait more than 10 secs for the CEL light to start blinking! Hard to explain lol.. hope this helps a little!

IanS16 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I lost my temper trying to count, so I did it the easy way (at the bottom of the page) I couldn't get that way to work.. (are you on about disconnecting the battery and pumping the brake?) would have made my day a little less stressful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just been around the block and she feels alot me reponsive and shrper, suppose that will die off! I know it didnt work because when i fitted my plenum spacer i tried the car without the air filter (just for a laugh) and the CEL light came on.. tried a reset via battery and the light stayed on. Did it with the pedal and the light turned off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
