Moved to the Help forum because the ECM (and most of the rest of the car) is the same as on Tiburons



This cat found me somehow and emailed me this question and I couldn't remember how to disconnect the computer at shouldbesleeping-thirty this morning. Somebody who's done it recently lay down the knowledge!
