There's nothing to reset. Its a dumb computer. It has no memory. Got altheimeres(sp). Anyone care to prove that statement wrong??????? Does not even remember the simplest codes. Oh, the codes.......good enough to tell you a plug fell off, but not much more. Shucks, I can do that with my eyeballs faster than I can hook up the led's./

Disconnected the tps plug and then the engine would rev, so I drove it home. Found the tps plunger was sticking internally. The outer part was moving in and out, but the internal was not.
CARTMILL......Please note he has a WAldo fuel pump that is making his car run rich. Its overwhelming his fpr.

Just my opinion, but your obsessed with the trail plugs. Forget them. The car should run just fine with only the lead plugs.
Sometime today, could clarify something for me? It idled just fine. Great. But after that I don't understand something. When you stepped on the pedal ......the engine did not rev/???????? Or rev'd very slow? It does not start right now, does it???? Sorry, I get lost in reading the above threads. At first I was sure it did not start at all. Now it starts????? If it does start, but not rev....please try the thought about taking the tps plug off and trying again.

no, it started before all this madness after relentless cranking. now after cleaning the plugs and ****, it wont start for the world. before, it would idle, smoking, smoothly. i would try to rev it, it would go up really slowly and alot of rich smoke would come out of the exhaust.

First off, it Alzheimers (you may already be suffering from it..
)...As far as the ECU, I stand by it being a good troubleshooting tool, nothing more. And I had one ECU tell me when the TPS was out of adjustment. Bash it all you want, but it IS a handy tool for preliminary troubleshooting.

iu got the car running. i bought some more damn spark plugs... all four hot ones this time. its ognna be enough to get me back to louisville i hope.
one question, do you guys think that my timing may be off? i havent checked it since i got the car just assuming it was fine. but now that i think of it, could this be a problem if the timing is too retarded?
