Default Tune/ecu reset

hope this is in the right section, i figured since it has to do with my tune, i put it here

I typed in "ECU reset" in the search to see if what I was looking for would pop up but to no prevail.

Basically my question is: my car has been tuned, but i want to reset my ecu to see if i can fix my high idle. (1000rpm-1100rpm). Right after it was tuned it was idling normal but gradually increased as time went by. I want to know if i can reset my ecu without ruining what was done with the tune or is it not possible to do so without ruining the tune. i don't know too much so am looking for help before i do anything. possible link to another thread would be helpful and/or if one of you has info it would be much appreciated. thanks guys

-mike

You can also unplug the ecu/battery for a period of time to reset, but will not wipe out any tuning saved to the ecu.

i had the same problem when i bought a new TB with a really high idle so i went to the NISSAN DEALER, they plugged in a yellow scanner into the ECU OBD connector and after 30 seconds, it was fixed......

i tried resetting the ecu by disconnecting the negative battery but it wouldnt work....hope that helps
