A quicker easier way to reset the ECU.

I need a way to reset my ECU for the time being before I race my car because right now its pulling 37% timing and 5% fuel and when I unplug the battery to reset it the car runs faster but within 30 mins the ECU will learn or whatever again and start pulling the power again. So I need something where I can like hit reset the ECU with a controller or something right before I race or run my car and it will be cool. What kind of device can I buy to do this? this will just be a quick fix till I get my AEM FIC and tuned some time next month.

I wonder if you can get a toggle switch to the battery like a kill switch.

not a bad idea but someone once told me that those ODB2 scanners can actually reset the ECU but I wasnt sure how true that was.

find the ECU fuse, cut one of the wires from the middle, and put a switch on it.

lol another good idea but im just looking something quick and easy I can do in the car wiring having to wire it up. Im going to look into some OBD2 scanners and see if any of them do it. I need a scanner anyway..
