"Re-training" the ECU? There any way to "re-train" the ECU after a lot of easy driving? I know that over time it changes things to cope for how you're driving it. Well... I know how hard this thing can pull and it hasn't been pulling as hard after a lot of babying (breaking in a new clutch). I know temp and some other factors may be contributing but it's getting nice and cool out here but it's pulling LESS. I was wondering if there's anything I could do get let it know i'm not fvcking around any more... maby a few WOT passes after disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes?

UPDATE: Reconnected the battery - SES light's off and it doesn't wanna idle... lol.. guess I did it the ghetto way. I let it warm up and bliped the throttle a couple times - waited till it recovered fairly well each time then turned it off. Going to do the "engine break-in" thing tomorrow so the PCM can re-learn the fuel curves - the 2 half-throttle passes up to 55 then 2 full throttle passes up to 55... then cruise there for a while... oh yah... coast down... should i downshift and should i shift at redline? Also, should I hold 55 in 5th or 6th? 6th is kinda lugging it out @ under 1,500 rpms. THANKS!
