Engine RUnning Smoother/.?

Anyway, I mess around with the car today. I went into PCM reset and somehow I feel the engine running smoother. I am not sure is that how I feel or It is really running smoother? Does anyone reset your PCM before?

yea the car has a learning computer so initializing the pcm will clear its current beating(s) and go back to default.

Where do you get the Acura software? Can you provide equipment / material and steps please? I bought my car used and I was wondering on how to reset it to learn my driving habits.
