The computer is constantly "fine tuning" and updating the adaptive memory. The
best thing to do is to drive it like you drive, and it will adapt to it.

The only time the computer gets confused is if it's getting false information,
as it would from a bad sensor. Replacing the sensor is all that is needed, and
the computer will automatically correct for it. The only thing you do when
resetting the computer is change where the computer starts to adjust from, not
where it will end up. It will always adjust. That's it's job.

Re: Changing the name of my jeep from Blackie to Black Cloud (or error 54 diagnostic code)
Yeah, took the plugs out, let them set for a couple of hours while I did
something else also allowing the cylinders to breath. Came back and cleaned
the off with a wire brush. Then took another look at the distributor to
make sure I put the rotor back on (was thinking about this when I was doing
other things). I was hoping it was off which would explain why it wouldn't
start but it was there in place.
I'm trying to think of something else I might have done in the process but
everything looks correct.
