[QUOTE="Russie, post: 326165, member: 4537"] I guess E36 is one of the electronic-sensitive cars. My non-BMW mechanic actually did warn or rather advised me not to jump start another car using my E36. In fact, it was my 3rd time jump-started another car. The previous 2 times were okay, guess luck wasn't with me the last time. Just posting this to share with fellow forummers here. Who knows, there might be other noobs like me :) Now that the ECU has been reset, the idling is a bit rough...I think it will take a few days for the computer to hunt for the settings. The mechanic told me since GT1 was used to reset the ECU/ EWS, my car may be more responsive now...I dunno, yet to try it out coz got myself an old junk (Proton Saga Magma 8v) to be my daily ride to work :P Oh yeah, I got my airbag error code erased as well :) Cheers~ [/QUOTE]
