Turn key to on
Push throttle pedal down all the way for 5 secs
With pedal still down, turn key to off but leave key in ignition
Release pedal
Wait 2 minutes
Start the car and drive.

I'm under warranty so I'll get another OEM pump, but once the coverage expires I'll be ordering a Johnson unit.
Is that really the process for resetting the computer?! Bizzare- where did you hear/read that?!
