Forgot to put this in my last thread, from the same person that told me the last one..they also told me this:
- After installing a new bolt-on performance part, let the car warm up between 5 and 10 minutes, then turn it off. Find the Back Up fuse (7.5 amps) in the underhood fuse box and remove it for 5 minutes. Replace the fuse, and start the car and let it idle for a few minutes without touching the gas pedal. Turn off the car, restart it, and bone out! This tip, which only works on Honda and other cars with speed-density fuel injection, resets the ECU and allows it to "re-learn" the engine with the new modification in place. Good for a few extra horsepower. (Also works well when racing at a different elevation than usual.)
ok and just to clarify this is for a 1995 Honda Civic DX D15B7, I looked in my Chiltons manual for it and it had a brief part on resetting something on the ECU and I know for sure that the fuse (7.5 amps) is right, but like my last thread, i was just wondering if this was....safe, and/or worth it.
