So theres no computer reset or anything that needs to be done, or that gets done every Service on the EB XR8's? I just want to make sure, before I go do all of this. Last thing I need is to replace all this and find it runs worse!
If you are going to that much trouble it probably wouldn't hurt to clear the keep alive memory and carry out a base idle relearn.this will reset all fuel/ignition tables back to their base settings so it relearn with with all your new parts. to do this procedure, disconnect your battery for five minutes (make sure you have radio code first) reconnect battery and start vehicle in park with a/c off.do not touch accelerator or steering wheel and let vehicle idle for two minutes. after two minutes is up switch on a/c and let it idle for another two minutes. next turn a/c off and put in drive for a further two minutes. finally turn a/c on for two minutes and then road test vehicle without flogging it, just drive normally. this should help to improve idle quality and fuel consumption.
If you have a manual all you need to do is disconnect your battery for 5 mins. reconnect battery and start with a/c off and run for 2 mins. after that turn a/c on for 2 mins and then go for a drive. it's as simple as that.
it takes 15 minutes for the computer to reset. best way is to remove the passenger kick panel, and use a 10mm socket to undo the bolt on the plug and leave it off for 15 min or longer. That way youll keep ya memory in the radio
