Default After resetting ECU...

Hey guys,

I have a 08 ISF that i've had for 2 years now. Anyway I just got borla catback installed and went ahead to reset the ecu by pulling fuse ETCS & EFI, waited at least a min before reinserting the fuses. Now the first time i tried to start the car, it bogged and did not start (did it even fire up?) the first time. Now I pressed the start button a second time, the car came to life normally.

I've had it happen before while i reset the ecu when i had the K&N installed. Same thing that time.

Just wondering if anyone had this happen to them before...i never saw anyone commenting something like this happen to their ISF.

Agreed, I disconnected the battery for just a couple minutes to clean the terminals and it still hesitated on the first turn. It's normal.

I've only seen one Toyota product fire on first contact after a battery/ECM reset. It was a Scion tC we did an engine swap on. All the rest have done exactly this - start, quit, restart and everything is fine. Even my '93 Supra does this.

Hey if you do a ecu restart does the radio/seat/whatever memory erase?
