esc cos p8 reset plug

[Turbo Lag]

Hi I have a Wanted post in the other section but not everyone goes there so I thought I would ask in here.
I need the P8 reset plug which usually has a red cap on it and is near the right offside turret so I can reset my P8.
I took the car to Engine Advantages and Paul Hills or one of his staff cut the plug off and wired the Anti Lag switch in there instead ?
If anyone has a old knackered engine loom I would very grateful for the plug.

Dave.

If I remember right you joined the 3 wires together to reset ecu

To re set the memory, you must carefully follow the following procedure (with the engine stopped and at normal operating temperature):

1) Locate the memory re set plug inside the engine compartment and remove the red cover (if fitted). On right hand drive vehicles this can be found between the battery and front suspension top mounting. There are three diagnostic plugs here, (see photo), the circular plug is the memory-reset plug. (On some models, this shape of plug is used to alter the ignition timing for different octane fuel).

2) Prepare three pieces of wire to connect the three connections of this plug together. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE PLUG YET.

3) You will need help to complete this part of the operation. Turn on the ignition, as if to start the engine. (Operate any immobilisation systems etc.) DO NOT START THE ENGINE. You will hear the idle stabiliser valve click slowly (about once per second). As soon as the ignition is switched on, (but not before), connect your three pieces of wire to the plug sockets to inter-connect all three terminals. This must be done quickly, after the ignition is turned on, but before the fuel pump stops priming the engine. After about seven seconds, the idle stabiliser will stop clicking. After a further twenty or thirty seconds, the idle stabiliser will click extremely quickly, then return to clicking once per second. When this happens it signifies that the management system Kept Alive Memory is erased. Turn off the ignition, and remove your wires from the sockets. Re fit the red plug cover and return the diagnostic plugs to their original position. Do not worry if this doesn’t happen first time, you may find it necessary to carry out the erasure procedure at least twice until the operation completes as described.

4) The management system now has to re learn its idle and slow running strategies. Allow the engine to idle for three minutes, then increase the speed to 1200 RPM and hold for two further minutes.

The engine management system should complete its learning strategy after approximately 5 miles of varied driving

I will give it a go

That is from GGR site, i have done this a couple of times, and it works
