    johntranvu,

    What you would be doing by doing that is resetting the ECU. I would say definitely do that first, see if that changes anything. But the proper way to reset your ECU is this;

    Get the car warm (3 bars on temperature gauge) then park up. Switch the car off and pull the ECU fuse shown below for about 10 mins (this removes power to the ECU) Replace it, start the car up then go and find a long stretch of road and give it redline through the gears. The ECU will quickly learn where to set its fuelling and ignition timing. The next step is to get the idle sorted. You will notice the car really struggles to idle and tries to cut out (it shouldn’t normally cut out, but comes close). To relearn, park up and let the car go through 3 cycles of the cooling fan coming on and off. its then set. It will eventaully learn anyway, but its quicker using the cooling fan method.

    Fuse can be found behind the fuse cover inside the footwell:

    If you reset and your problem persists then onto the following…

    Contact your local Honda dealer. This is a problem that has happened to many with 06-08 S2000’s. This should be (from my knowledge) covered by them. 

    Let me know what happens, and let me know if I can help more.
