    Default Did the "shogun" computer reset.

    I did the shogun computer reset where the car battery is disconnected for at least 10 minutes with a neg and pos battery cables shorted (battery is out of the loop) with the key in #2 position will cause all the computers to reset to base values. A bit like rebooting a computer. See the archives and other posts for details.

    After a short drive around town after the reset. I have seen no difference in any way except a little smoother. Will watch.
    Thanks,

    Default Swear it seems smoother

    The cars "seems" to shift and run smoother after the "reboot" in my around town driving. I will see on my weekly commute. However, the gain may be a placebo effect or the weather. It turned from humid and warm to rainy and cool. Even so, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
