I've heard that disconnecting a fuse to re-start your ECU while the car is off will allow it to reprogram fuel maps due to the increase in air density and decrease in air temperature but I cannot confirm that.

after about a day....the ECU will rewrite the fuel maps. resetting it just does it quicker.
