ECU questions

How do you reset the ECU? (battery power off or is there some way to reset directly)

Not quite sure where the ECU is located!!

It is my understanding that you simply remove the Positive from the battery for a little bit... Make sure you know your radio code though...

I believe its under/behind the glovebox somewhere.

Can anybody else confirm this?

Just remove the negative terminal much easier. The ECU is under the carpeting on the right hand side of the car somewhere below the glove box in the firewall I believe. There are directions on this site for making a reset switch (best idea) for you OBII ECU, that way it wont de-tune your mods. Pretty complicated but if you dont have a reset switch you keep having to re-enter your cd player code and resetting your channels and clock every time you reset the power. The restart switch is able to cut it off while keeping power to the memory or somethin like that. Just use the search option the idea came from the prelude forum from Texas I think

None that I know of but you can always utilize the option of sending it to a tuner with a list of your mods and settings so they can properly work with it. Im not sure who does it, but I believe that mugen does, maybe spoon, jacobs electornics maker of the v chip, shogun or something. I dont know just do an internet search for ecu tuning. They will reprogram it for you for some cost.
