do you really need to reset the ecu
do i really have to reset the computer/ from what i read, the ecu is always in learning mode, so if you swap it it will learn these new injector without having to reset it?

I did when I swapped my injectors. Kinda wish I didn't. I have read on here that many people dont bother. My mpgs went down 3-4 mpgs for a few tanks. Back went back up. No better then before though. But runs better. I wouldn't bother doing it. If I did it again I wouldn't. Just me though. More people will chime in.

Do it.
After 50 key cycles fuel maps are established and only slightly changed to accommodate for load, etc. You may notice a difference in MPG just by swapping injectors, but not as much as possible.
Takes 2 mins, I dont see what people find so hard about this.

Back from the dead, been busy, I know its easy but my question is, since the ecu is always in learning mode why do you need to? It will adjust to the new injectors just as fast without learning it over again

I just put in the Ford yellows...had a full tank when I did it. When I was finished, it went through half a tank in 100kms, then smartened up. Been good ever since. I had the battery disconnected while I did it, so for an hour or so...if that's not a reset I don't know.
