Default MAF and drive by wire reset instructions?

I got the ZPI kit and it was suppossed to list how to reset these???

I tried searching, but nothing popped up on their site or on SL. Please link me, or post on here how to reset?

Thanks guys

They?
Well, there is a fuse you can pull that will reset the ECU without loosign your stereo and windows stuff, but it's much easier to just disconnecte the negative on the batery.

If the instructions told you some more complicated process..... then why not follow the instructions?

Well if I had the instructions on how to do it, I wouldn't waste my time asking on SL.

They didn't send me any instructions on this, and it is not in there tech area.

If you heard of it in the instructions... then you must have had the instructions I am guessing you lost them? In either case I would just call ZPI and ask them. But the only reset would be the ECU reset. The MAF is a sensor. The only other change I can think of would be tuning related.

Did you already install the kit? And is it running?
Or are you just trying to check all your bases before diving in?

look under the lid that yyou remove from the fuse box, its lists all the fuses(make sure you have it lined up right tho) i actually removed the ecu fuse today, its a 10amp fuse if im not mistaken.

there is a fuse to pull in the ecu that will make the car crank but not run, you use that to prime the turbo. could be the same fuse, i will look at it and let you know which one, can't remember off top of my head.

Ok I disconected the bat. Cleaned the mass air flow thing and now I have no cell but when I stomp on this gas it feals like I have only about half the to seventy five % power! Cant figure out wtf is going on and I dont want to have to take the header off and the CAI. Then put it all back together and take it into the dealer just to find out it was somthing dumb I could have done on my own. Any ideas?
