Taking out battery mess up computer??
When i put my car away for the winter, i was planning on taking the battery out, until i heard that if you take it out for awhile it will mess up the computer in my car. Is this true?? Thanks

I can't see how that would be true. I had my battery unplugged form my PCM for like 4 months straight and it definitely didn't ruin my PCM. If you unplug your home PC for 6 months will that ruin it? No...same thing just the PCM is in your car.

At the very least b/c you are taking way the power source. the iac will have to relearn the idle and and your fuel trims will have to relearn your driving style. Nothing seriose(sp).
