Damn Intercooler Pipes

[joe26f]

ok so on the way home from tafe my car shat itself,

stuck on the side of the road with hundreds of cars flying past (no one stopped and helped me, the dogs...and i got laughed at by a wannabe WRX full of P platers)

i found the problem my intercooler pipe running to the intake had come loose, so my car was going into R&R, anyways i fixed it and drove home pumping unburnt fuel, when i got home i reset the ecu the way SK said to in the O2 sensor thread, no more black smoke.

just wondering if this would have set the ecu back to preset defaults or to the way it was tuned last. Should i get it retuned?

also should i look at changing the o2 sensor because of all the black smoke it was pumping out?

just hook up the pipe again

disconnect the battery, pump the brakes/turn the headlights on, remove all the power from the ecu.

unplug the ecu and leave for 20 minutes

replug it all back up, ecu first, the battery

dont worry about the o2 sensor, it will be fine. might want to change it anyway though.

[joe26f]

so it goes back to default or its last tune settings?

[Sydneykid]

What "tune"?

cheers

i don't know nissan says they've tuned my car last service, and since the incident yesterday it doesn't seem to be going as hard, is nissan full of sh*t and i'm being pesimistic?

yep they cant 'tune' the ECU so theres nothing to worry about. Just make sure your clamps are tight and drive on.

they may have checked base timing and replaced or re-gapped the plugs.

ask them exactly what they did...
