to reset the ecu, what i always do is remove the ecu (15A) and backup(7.5A) fuses in the underhood fuse box, located on the passenger side near the battery. Take them out for like 10-15 minutes or so. Then put them back in and start the car up. Don't touch the gas after you start it and just let the car run until it gets up to normal operating temperature, so it can properly reset the idle. Then shut the car off and start it up again. See if you are still throwing codes at this point. That's about it I think.


On a side note, I am having similar problems. Sometimes I will try to start my car and it will just turn over and sputter for a while then die. I think my problem may be cat-related...
