i put a new air flow meter on my car n then realised i had to reset the computer...i tryed the way one person told me but it didnt work...apparently there is a plug on the outside of the fire wall i have to unplug...does any one have any ideas????????

how do i reset my computer after i change my air flow meter??? ive tryed it the way the manual says but still wont work...i was told theres a plug on the outside of the fire wall on the passenger side but i cant find it to unplug it??? HELLLLLLP

What does the computer say? Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes right?

why do u need to reset it

as said, why resetting??? but disconnect battery for at least 24hrs i believe...

Yeh, I don't no why you are reseting after changing your afm. When I got sold a dodgey powerchip it made my car run ****e so I had to put the original chip in and leave the whole ecu unplugged for 24 hrs. This made it sweet again. If your car is running crap and still crap after the new meter then I don't think reseting your ecu will help. Send me a pm with more info if you need a hand.

the past 3 weeks it has been stuffing up ...it would jerk and sumtimes stall when i came to a full stop...then last week i drove up my drive way and parked the next morning it wouldnt start... i checked and it had fuel getting up to the engine and spark aswell ....i checked my starter moter ...it was stuffed so i got a new one, a mechanic told me to change the air flow meter so i did that to... now it starts after a few goes n stalls again after 10-20 seconds or if i put my foot on the accelerator... Im lost...-could it be the dizzy????-or coil??

yeah resetting the computer wouldnt really fix that.. it seems to be something else

throttle position? sounds more like CAS though...

On the face of the actual computer there will be a little knob that has a slot in it. Stick a srewdriver in it and turnit anti clockwise. Then turn it back to where it was. Turn the ignition on for about two secs the turn it off. then push on the excellerator then take your foot off and if your car is an auto put it in drive then back to park. I may be wrong but thats how it's done on VLT's

What car and engine is this for?? Im assuming a VL Turbo, coz Walkies don't have an air flow metre.

Are you for real? Sounds like some sort of secret combo to bust out some maxwell smart shiit... The only way i've heard of, which may be wrong, is to leave the plug off the comp for an hour or two, enough for the memory capacitors to leak out all of their charge, and plug it back in. The comp will then learn the conditions all over again, ie how the car is driven, and how much air/fuel it's gettin... As i said... i could be wrong.

unplug your battery for an hour or so and it resets.

Again threads merged. Please refrain from making multiple threads asking the same thing.

i heard that by taking off the negative battery terminal and then depressing the brake pedal for a set amount of time will reset it...anyone confirm?

all u do is turn the screw on the ecu....let it go threw its diognostics and then go threw all the components and then it will tell u if anything is wrong and after its been threw all that turn the screw bak and it should all be sweet.....but i donty think thats your problem....i had this problem a while ago.....i changed the afm..coil,,leads..sparkies....but it didnt realy help......but after i drained my fuel and ran 2 bottls of injector cleaner threw it seamed to run good again...

i agree i ran out of fuel about 50 times as the stupid gage doesn`t work in my hack and got bit of junk caught up in lines.
