so what is the deal with this? Is the ECM learning disabled and needs to be restarted every now & then? Why would you need to pull the fuse for hours?

how do you pull a fuse? good lord. those posts alone made me stop reading after page 1.

the ecm is detecting the wrong octane fuel and retarding the system because, apparently, dealers do not want to pay for the premium fuel and are putting regular fuel in , then the ecm is retarding and cars arent running they way they should. the ls3 motors get a smoother idle once it happens but apparently not many ls3 cars are reporting it. he said leave the 2 fuses out overnight, put them back in and it should run a lot better. supposedly L99 cars are pretty slow when this happens.
