ECU reset switch ?
I was thinking about installing an inline "reset" switch in the power wire going to the ECU. I installed my Injen CAI, reset the ECU at the battery, and the hesitation was gone for almost a week. Yes, the hesitation came back, but I pulled the neg wire to the battery again and it was fixed for another couple of days.
OK, I know that Mazda should fix this issue. but until they do, I was thinking that this would at least take some of the edge off. all you would need to do is once a week or so, just flip that switch for a sec. and Wala, the ECU is reset, and u get ur good ole hesitation free MSP back with out having to go through all of the trouble of redoing all of ur radio presets and stuff.
My only consern is that this is a learning ECU, and that if it is always in learning mode, then it may not be able to prevent something bad from happening like detination, or something else like that.
Any comments welcome, and requested!
P.S. is the power wire to the ECU clearly marked as such? If not, does anyone know what it looks like???
