i dont think hes got to do it for an hour, whenever i reset mine so my CEL goes out i disconnect it for 30seconds. Just to be safe, do it for 5 mins

mmm fun. Well now I've got a bigger problem at hand. mitsubishi told me that it was my ECU that wasn't allowing my car to run properly. So finally I've fixed the ECU. Let the car idle for about 5 minutes after resetting the ECU and then carefully drove it around town for about 15-20 minutes and it runs better but still doesn't run correctly. It's like there isn't enough air or fuel getting into the engine to spool up the turbo. but when the turbo does spool the car moves. so this is getting annoying.

When at a stopped position, w/ clutch in and first gear, i'll do the seasaw motion w/ the feet (letting off clutch as gas goes down) but the car jumps from 2 rpm to almost idle position as the let out the clutch and give it some gas. I have to couter it by adding more gas pedal and pushing the clutch back in a little.

whats wrong with my car????

Ok with letting the ECU adjust its gonna take more than a reset and an idle. It might take a day or two of driving before it figures everything out.

And i dont understand your issue in the second part, your idle drops when your letting out the clutch? Thats not a problem.
