problems after reseting ecu
 
i changed spark plugs and messed around with my intake. after, i reset the ecu by leavingthe negative wire unplugged for 15 mins, then i went out and turned the key and held the brake for 10 secs. i put the neg wire back on and the car wouldnt start. then i would wiggle the wires around tried resetting the ecu again and it didnt work. i then just messed with the wires, tried starting the car again and it worked. and every now and then i have the same problem, what do i do?

Did you twist/fold/spindle [what is THAT?] the MAF wires? I darn near pulled them out of thier connector [dumbdumbdumb] and they would intermittently cut the engine off/cause it to sputter....

"What wires did you 'mess around with' to get it started?" (Don't miss the CLUE here! ;)

So check the wires, connectors, etc. very thoroughly. When it is running - mess with each individual wire to see if it causes the engine to stumble or quit.
