Was there a noticeable difference when you reset it? As in, did it start back up and idle abnormally high for an extraordinary amount of time?
This isn't true. After about 30 sec, the adjusted fuel and spark tables are erased completely. No need to have the ECU disconnected for any more than a minute. Nothing will be gained - it's not like there a 1 Farad cap holding power to thew ECU or anything like that.
Listen to what RyeLou said, and check to see that all vacuum line, PCV and intake manifold, and the EGR pipe are all secure.
With Ryans car we found tha the PCV was not secure, his UIM gaskets were toast (i.e. the o-rings on both were so old they were dead flat) and he had crummy spark plug wires.
