So i need to reset my ecu to get inspected in a few weeks and want to fill up with high test no ethanol then flash back to my pherable tune before the flex fuel and just plug back in the connections that were jumeped while putting in that flex kit but dont want to swap out the sensor and all if i am just going to put it back as soon as i can. Hope you can understand. I just want to put back all the electronic connections so my ecu thinks all is stock but i dont want to take the sensor out is that possible? Thanks in advance

I think K tuner has an extra module for flex fuel? if you put all the connections back to original, the it is just a pass through, i believe.

I asked Drob about this when he did my flex fuel tune, if you change the connections back there is no harm done the ethanol sensor just doesn't do anything, but its still a functioning fuel line

I may or may not have traded a car back to Honda like that. I didn't have a replacement fuel line at the time so I just let them have the flex fuel sensor. :lol:

Awesome thank you for the responses thats what i will do then. The epa is cracking down big time. I am in New York and our new govener passed a law that you can not make your car louder. Meaning no downpipes or exhaust. The shops that get cought putting on on your car can get fined. They are not allowed to pass inspection either or that shop could loose theire license Crazy times. All i did was invest in some battery powered impact guns lol
