Default Another M50 running

Yes, it is interesting.
I was aware the ECU had to re-learn its settings and that I would have to run the engine up to temperature before it would settle down, but I was not ready for how rough it sounded until it had re-set itself.

What's interesting is that I removed the battery Earth over night as my temporary wiring loom has so many exposed potentially live wires I didn't want to run any unnecessary risks.

I couldn't resisit going out this morning and re-connecting it again and firing it up. This time it ran sweetly straight away. So does the ECU hold memory for a period even without being powered up, but loses it over a longer period?
I don't fully understand, but it runs sweetly now and that's what matters.

"On the road this year", is now looking possible!

I'm guessing it sounded bad on first startup as the ECU was re-learning everything... But like Mash said, it's sounds great by the end.
