Mine seems to work fine, the only thing I have read that is different is some say 15 seconds throttle down. Be sure to leave the key in (but turned all the way anti-clockwise or OFF) for the 2-3 minutes of wait, then pull the key and 'exit the vehicle' is another one floating around
& i do always hear the ecu 'thinking' things through after this reset during the 2-3 min wait
then it usually tells me to kill john lennon

I park on the top floor of a parking garage, so my car gets lazy habits if I don't reset every other week or so.
Good luck

Bummer, and your welcome.

It can't hurt. When I was first told about it, the most important point was to let off of the pedal before turning off the key- definitely leave the key in for the wait though.

This string of posts has been funny.
If you are looking for your "Clarke Kent" to turn into "Superman" with this reset, you will always be disappointed. All it does is clear the adaptions from the computer's memory. If you are a hard driver, all the time, you will notice less of a change than someone that nurses the car around town all the time, teaching the computer to baby the car.
When I clear mine, I notice the tranny jerk is reduced (somewhat) and the responsiveness is improved. It is discernible with the butt-dyno. If you can't feel a difference, get your butt inspected by a professional.
As a recap, get into the car, insert the key, turn the ignition on (not the engine) to the run position. Stomp the pedal to the floor and hold it (i do it to the count of 10-one-thousand), turn the ignition off, remove your foot from the pedal. The wait time is a hoax, best I can tell. I never wait anymore. After a few moments, I can start the car and feel the slight (but enjoyable) difference.
edit: I just remembered..pointman, you have 2004, don't you? I believe the process changed for the 2004 model year. You will need through this thread more carefully to find that procedure. I do not remember it.

Son of a &^#@%$!!!!! So subtly done, that I know you're pwning me.. yet I am going to actually go back and comb over the thread more carefully just. in. case.
And I think Admin ScottW911 just pwnd the rest of you. He basically said I am the Dominic Toretto of the 32 world. I drive too fast and too furious for this silly little "reset" to even be felt by a 0-40 mph beast like me.

What was once, is not forever. I guess I was an idiot in my younger days? I have become obsessed with this, and can't get anything out of it. And I may have been bumping to get insight.
