The "official" way to reset your accords ecu is to remove the "7.5 amp fuse labeled "backup" in the fuse panel on the passsenger side of the engine compartment.

Yeah thats how I reset my ecu on my '99. I figured it would be the same with older accords as well.

remove pos.. its ok but neg is better. cuz if a screw driver hits the pos and the body of ur car.. bam.. the screw driver will go flying.. i dont it before.. if the neg is disconnected.. u do the screw driver trick.. it cant ground back to bat... so do neg... its wat everyone does..

To reset the ECU, first make sure the engine is warm. Disconnect the battery or pull the ECU fuse and leave it disconnected for 10 min. Then replace it and run the car at idle without touching the accelerator or steering wheel for 10 min. then turn the car off.

Now you can start it and it should be reset.
