Computer reset

    I’m having an issue with a 2000 Chevy van 5.7 ....the idle jumps up and down by itself....pressing on the gas does nothing...


    I saw this video about a simple resetting the computer procedure ...

    My vehicle is at my mechanics shop so I haven’t tried this or mentioned it to him yet...


    but I’m wondering if this procedure could fix some of our motor related problems without going to the dealer?


    any thoughts?


    IT DOES WORK.I tried it on my slingshot this afternoon and was shocked how much better it shifted. Of course I had three beers while it was doing the reset. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if it goes back to shifting normally once I purge the beer from my system. I wonder if the clutch will last longer this way now?

    Nobody gets outta here ALIVE

    I talked to my mechanic about this today...he said he didn’t know about it..... we all know disconnecting the ground off the battery to reset... but this guy says there is a small battery inside the computer... don’t know if that’s standard for every computer or not...but the jumper drains that battery.. to totally clear the computer... the first I ever heard about it is from this video I just found a few days ago...


    Anybody know if it would or wouldn’t work on the SS...
