  • Howdy! This is a follow up to my door lock repair video set. I've played around with Windows Movie Maker a bit, and compiled all my footage to a single file (no playlist required, yay!).
    This video describes the ECU hard reset procedure to follow for a clean idle. After replacing my battery, I had an issue where the engine speed was not calibrated correctly to adjust for the RPM drop when shifting into neutral or braking. As a result, my car was stalling at intersections.
    I read up on ECU resets for Subaru Impreza's and the advice from this forum helped tremendously: forums.nasioc.c...
    Big shout out to "Uncle Scotty"
    Thanks for watching!
    Update ECU adjusted! The engine speed no longer drops below the stall threshold! Took about 2 days of normal driving to achieve.

    Hi, thank you for your video!
    We successfully used the procedure to reset ECU to solve our problem which was:
    The speedometer and rpm counter stopped working completely after we experienced aa discharge of battery and had used a battery start boosterand done a dynamo repair.
    Here's what we did:
    -Disconnected both battery connections.
    -Short circuited the battery cables for 10 seconds.
    -Pumped the brake pedal five times
    -Reconnected battery pools
    The engine was a little difficult to start after the reset, but once started, the speedometer and RPM meter were functioning perfectly.

    Hi Chazwozel oiling your air filter will decrease the life of your MAF sensor. A dry paper element filter is probably a better option. I could be wrong but this could be a contributing factor to your idling problem.

    • @Chazwozel1
      @Chazwozel1  7 лет назад +4

      It's K&N's Filter Oil, it's actually required per the cleaning procedure of the filter. In short, K&N filters work by capturing particulates in the oil film thereby allowing larger pores on the paper element (thus their increased airflow claim). I don't believe much of it gets into the throttle body if dried properly.

    it actually takes around 150kms (93miles) for the ECU to adjust everything for normal driving and highway as well. Also, I'm not sure if your hatchback subie has an IAC valve, my 2005 has it and its kinda dying and has the opposite effect of your car: often when I press the clutch while on low speeds it raised the rpms to 2.500 - 3.000 rpms. Cleaning the IAC and resetting the ECU helps a bit but the sympthom comes again.

    I am going to try this soon. Just put an AGM battery in my car and now 2 of my sparkplugs are acting up. Put new ones in and coils, to no avail. I have an 05 legacy gt, want to see if this will balance things out. Other than background noise, i found the commentary not bad. I enjoy a less scripted content

    So. I’m fairly new to the WRX sti world. I have always wanted one.
    I purchased a 2011 hatchback. WRX sti
    And I really enjoy it.
    Ok. So. Here are the symptoms.
    I was driving at around 45 mph when the aftermarket radio (I am not the one who installed it) started skipping. Like turning off and on.
    And then the car started to die, I clutched and started slowing down, preparing for the worst. The radio started back up and the engine started acting normal. BUT! The radio clock was reset, even the date, the clock on the dash was reset to midnight. And it was 5 in the eve.
    I pulled into a gas station and shut everything down. And started back up after about two minutes later.
    She ran normally.
    My questions are.
    1. Has anyone else had a similar issue?
    2. If so. What do I need to do for my next step?
    Also. Side note. This is funny.
    The darndest thing happens with my car. I can’t seem to keep the gas full. It’s always draining, and it drains too fast.... LoL (I enjoy my WRX hatchback I’m not hard on it, I know and enjoy standard, 6-speed)

    Good info in the video. it would be better if, in your next video, make sure there's not so much background noise. It's distracting, and makes it harder for some to hear what YOU are saying....

  • @SavNout01
    @SavNout01 4 года назад +1

    When you reset your ECU (by unplugging battery for more than 20 seconds) all your sensors get reset... And your learned Fuel Trims get erased. Some cars (Nissan) you might have to do a throttle position relearn. It will drive like crap for a few miles til it learns your throttle body. Most ppl drive around with dirty throttle bodies... Computer adjusts air/fuel to compensate until it learns your throttle body. Toyotas donut rather quickly, some cars it takes a few miles.

    • @Chazwozel1
      @Chazwozel1  7 лет назад

      It might. I would suggest cleaning out your throttle body. There are a number of things that could be causing a noticeable vibration though - not limited to engine knock.

  • @ak99515ak
    @ak99515ak 6 лет назад

    So my 06 legacy gt engine check light came on with cruise control light flashing, also it hesitates to start I have to crack it 2 times for the car to start, and when I barely step in the gas it just wants to stall. All that goes away after its all warm up it drives normal but when I turn off the engine and start it back up all the problems come right back.

    • @Chazwozel1
      @Chazwozel1  6 лет назад +1

      Sounds like a faulty fuse (related to cruise control?) I'd replace some fuses and maybe get a new battery (since it sounds like your battery is old and struggling. With a new battery if you're seeing these issues, I'd say your starter might be on the fritz. Cost saving approach -> fuses first --> new battery ---> new starter.

    • @ak99515ak
      @ak99515ak 6 лет назад

      Chazwozel1 it was running perfect till I took it to fucking Sears just for oil change. The. They cleaned the battery connectors I supposed they unplugged the batt connectors. That's how everything started.

    Let me show you how to reset your ecu - oh wait I think I'll change the air filter (3 min have now gone by) . . . OK now, to discharge the battery - remove both cables and touch them together for ten seconds . . . .WHAT??? that would fry your battery! Bye bye!

    • @Chazwozel1
      @Chazwozel1  6 лет назад +8

      lol wut? it would discharge your electrical system. Nowhere am I saying to touch the pos to the neg while connected to the battery. That would short out the battery. In fact at 3:14 I specifically say not to put anything near the battery. Get the wax out your ears, son.
