Fuse pull highly recommended - Page 10 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I would imagine once the fuses are pulled the ECM is reset. Should not be any certain amount of time.

Much like rebooting a computer. The only reason the 3 hour time frame is there is because I left mine out for 3 hours on the original fuse pull. Only because I was mowing the grass and was busy.

Just an FYI. I had to reset some SES codes on my daughter's Dodge Avenger and disconnecting the battery wouldn't erase codes like has always worked on most other cars I've owned or worked on. There was some residual power to the PCM. The solution was to disconnect the battery and then turn the key to the start position for 30 sec. and that would drain any remaining current and reset the PCM and erase the SES codes. Thanks Google Search and Dodge Forums.

These forums rock. I learned a trick recently.

I had to do a compression and a leakdown test on my sons Jeep after removing the heads to swap gaskets. (overhead cams

)

I put a gas can in the engine compartment to catch the fuel escaping the fuel line because I didn't want to find and disconnect to disable the fuel system. If you push the gas pedal to the floor while starting it disables the fuel.

I never knew that.

That is actually a pretty cool fun fact

It's called, "clear-flood mode". Handy!

Well, I found out too late. LOL

I was catching the fuel in a gas can.

Is anyone doing a before and after on a Dyno to provide factual data on the 5/20 fuse reset?

No need for a dyno. Scan ECM to see what the KLF reads.

Has anyone done this yet to determine if the fuse pull really works to reset the fuel table? Also, how long do you actually need to keep the fuses out?

The only one we have only shows and 8 hp gain.

I never dynoed directly after the fuse pull because I started modding right after that.

What I'm trying to figure out is if I have a supercharger installed, with a canned tune from the manufacturer, does the fuse pull still apply?

It sounds like a dumb question when I listen to myself saying it, which is why I've never asked it before.

Did mine before on the SS, made a big difference, did it tonight on the ZL1...
