My mate has car troubles and thinks if he restarts the computer it'll fix some of them he wants to know how to do it , im a car lover but not an obbsessor so i have no idea how to do this can someone help ?

tell him to disconnect his battery, pump the brake pedal 10 times, wait 15minutes.... stand on one leg (itll be funny, do it) then battery back on. ECU reset.

sorry i was serious about it all except the one leg thing... the brake pedal is important... if you dont pump it it can take an hour to reset... sorry my humour got the best of me

pretty sure you disconnect the battery for 15 minutes, plug it back in, turn the car on and rev it to 3000 rpm and leave it that high for about 10 seconds

If he's having problems, it might be worth getting the error codes from the computer before you wipe them. That way you might be able to fix the problems properly.

1. Determine weather you are electronically illterate or not...

if yes go to "YES". if no go to 2.

2. Go to www.ebay.com.au
3. Get account / log in
4. Buy ALDL Diag. cable ($70)
5. Get winlog or whatever its called
6. Log errors

YES
1. Go to search
2. Type ALDL, VN, make
3. Use instructions to make ALDL
4. Download winlog or whatever its called
5. Log errors

Any other questions?

oh yeah, rev it a bit, like 3000-3500 for a bit so the comp redetects settings. Good point made that maybe he has errors for a reason! Ie. Crappy o2 sensor, no oil, piston missing...etc etc.
