anything in particular i should be looking out for or making sure i do besides obvious?
Im trying to reset my factory PCM so should i leave the battery disconnected for a good 15 mins or does it really matter?

Cheers

ECU should reset as soon as it looses power. Easier to reset it by disconnecting under the hood but if you are changing the battery anyway.

That vehicle had a new battery 12 months ago !The viper batteries suck if left sitting. Hopefully you are having plenty of fun with it so no chance of battery going down this time.

lol, i ended up letting it drain by sitting! Thought about buying an optima for peace of mind but they seem to need a bit of work to fit properly so i just got another stock one!!

Once its running right it will be all good for the summer Cant wait to hear it at full throttle with those headers and decat pipes

I hope you can make the luton lunch. I have left a message with Mr Nichol who owns the red with silver GTS and if he is interested you could meet for a thrash down the motorway. Let me know and I can help out with hotels etc
