Disconnect it, do what you have to do and reconnect it. Everything should be fine.

you can leave it out forever, well not quite. then when you want to use your car again just reconnect it and add gas. then go where you want. it will work just like it did when it was built.

if you ever buy a new batt,its the same procedure.

i really want to disconnect it to relearn everything idle, shift points whatever

as i just got the car and i don't really know how it was driven

does it affect the radio? will it ask me for a code??

The only thing you have to do, is set the time again. It is literally that simple, I've probably disconnected my battery 12 times in the last 2 months, and everything is still working fine!

thanks for the confirmation.

(do you think this will improve the drivability?)

my ****s are jerky little bit with what looks like slipping on slow acceleration
i don't know but it doesn't drive like our 05 trailblazer which is 2wd 4l60e

could 4wd makes little differenace?

is these transmissions adaptable to driving styles?

to relearn fuel trims: disconnect battery, remove and clean maf sensor, remove and thoroughly clean tbi, reinstall and connect battery. GL

thanks, but i wouldn't mess with my maf
i've cleaned maf sensors before with success using crc contact cleaner( is this safd to begin with? it has no oil residue and it evaporates instantly)
no things damaged but on vw maf it messed up with rubber gasket in the maf housing it bulged


anyhow the car air filter is kept clean and the engine is in good condition all of the mafs that i'vr cleaned before they are good to begin with and probably giving correct measurements

i'll clean throttle body but later on, would you recommend wd40 for this?


sorry but i still need confirmatiom

will the radio asks for code???? i am still paranoid

thanks
