Interesting...

I'll have to try that since I have had to take the battery out a few times (battery spat acid out of the cell cap vent onto the underside of the bonnet and the battery restraining bracket) to clean up the residual spill.

Yeah, think thats happened to mine at some stage, got some corrosion under the bonnet over the battery!!!

Yeah i used to disconnect the battery in my 1.8 and then let it warm up idling,then take it for a strap up the road hitting redline in most gears
It learnt to run fast,hehe

Mark

I think I'm gonna try that myself - the old idling then blat it down the road.......


The only problem is it will take me longer to reset the head unit and alarm settings than it will for the ECU to learn the car gets thrashed from now on!!!!!!

LMAO @ Rich, i know EXACTLY what you mean, i can't remember how much of my life has dissapeared lately whilst resetting everything!!!!! :D:D

The Resetting ECU discussion has come up many times before and to quote someone in the know
[quote="Roadster Robbie"]No, the ECU (Mazda officially can it a PCM, Powertrain Control Module) is mapped at the factory to behave how it does at with what is assumed to be a perfect engine. Ford (Mazda 626GF) use an adaptive memory which does learn (Refered to as a Keep Alive Memory) when the battery is disconected this will re-learn as you drive. All cars built after Jan 2001 also have to have a KAM to meet EOBD regulations. They have for example Long Term Fuel Trim. The emmissions are monitored by the PCM, as the engine wears over time adjustments to the injected fuel amount are made by the PCM to keep the burn as clean as possible. Also Short Term Fuel Trim is used to change fuel injection more instantly. This information can be viewed with the correct equipment to assertain how the engine is running (richer or leaner that the Mapped figure). Obviously if the PCM can't compenste because too much change would be needed to bring the mixture right again say an air leak in the intake tract then the Malfunction Indicator Light on the dash would be lit advising the driver that the car needed to be looked at. It time I think it will become an offence to drive a car with the MIL on. Anyway, sorry about the long post.
Tucker101uk, why would not having an adaptive ECU go against the principle of having an ECU. The purpose of an ECU is to monitor inputs and operate outputs, it's not paid to make it's own decisions [/quote]

Basically, our 'fs don't have learning ECU's!

Come to think of it, I do remember reading that somewhere before, I mean the bit about the ECU self adjusting the mix to keep emmitions down within the set limits...Might even be in the 323F owners manual, I'll have a look tomorrow.

lololololol, anyone wanna know where i found that little snippet :D:D, i too remember this topic of old, which is why i posted the above :D:D

Where did you find this myth making message then Andy?

The Mitchell repair system :D

Maybe they miss interporated what Mazda meant by emmitions adjusting ECU control?

I'm sure that what I read said something along the lines of the engine will manage it's own tuning to meet the set emmitions rate.

Well im pretty sure when i talked to a mazda mechanic a few years back about my ecu that he said it was a constantly learning 1
