Seafoam - reset ECU or not???

[theROOSTER]

Hello all -

I just "seafoamed" my MP5 at lunch today - 2002 , 124k miles on the clock. I used the "brake booster vacuum line" method, and it worked jsut fine.

it smoked for about 2 minutes after re-start, a little on my highway run, then faded.

I got no CEL's at all, and things seem just fine right now. What I want to know is - SHOULD I, or do I HAVE TO, reset my ECU?

I wasnt clear from all the previous posts if that was only once(or if) you got a CEL during seafoam-ing.

I reset mine last week, after pulling and cleaning my MAF.


thanks! !!

did you replace spark plugs as well? seafoam sometimes leaves a purple residue on them. i need to seafoam my p5 already. its already at 90k

it would also be a good idea to replace your PCV too, just get the $20 millenia one, it's well worth it!

is that year specific, or will any Millenia PCV do?

is there a "how to" on that as well?
