Battery ECU Reset with the fuse?

So I am a bit intrigued by the suggestion that a two minute battery-disconnect reset is even more effective for performance than a soft ECU reset.

Would pulling the fuse to the ECU accomplish the same without powering down the whole car?

eh....sounds really tempting but also sounds ifi. I Don't know if I would recommend pulling a fuse from a ECU while it's hot. *batt. connected

and yes disconnecting the battery and re-connecting resets all the values. The last time I disconnected the battery, my car almost took off on the highway and a few days later it was still beastly but not as............beastly

I run the soft ecu trick once a week sometimes every few days. Once you sit in traffic it's all over. Don't get me wrong she will still run hard but I like to have my shift points high.

I just disconnected my battery today. I was trying to fix my PSE since my phone and CD changer were dead. My friend told me that a master reset my help. After reconnecting the battery, I crawled into the trunk and looked at the upgrade PSE (compatible with the blue-tooth puck) and it was disconnected... Go figure. anyway I connected the PSE and everything is fixed!

btw, uplugging the battery definitely helped with the performance.
