why in the world would you want to remove the rev limiter? it's to protect your engine, nothing to gain by removing it.

yeah just unplug the battery for like 5 minutes and you are reset. but it always takes the computer a couple of days to adjust to most mods

nah, don't unplug tha battery, else you'll have to get friendly with your radio. just pull the ECU fuse out for 5-10mins, replace the fuse. Then start the car, and let it idle for 10mins. This is a very important step, don't press the gas or do anything while it's running. When that's done, you're golden. The computer won't need any time to adjust then.

no, i meant replace as the opposite as take out. replace=put back in

I think it's listed on the outside of the under hood box. I'll look when I go back out there in a sec.

so basically.. look under the hood.. and find the fuse box

1.after opening the fuse box.. pull out the fuse that matches with ECU

2.wait for about 10 min

3.then after 10 min is up, replace the fuse u just pulled out. (in other words.. put the fuse u took out back in)

4.then turn on the car.. and leave it on for about 10 min..

5.DONT DO ANYTHING WHILE ITS IDLE.

6. thank proaudio
