I think you dissconnect the battery pull out the ECU fuse from the fuse box,wait a minute then reconnect the battery and put the fuse back in.

Throttle position sensor is sticking,fid the sensor on the throttle body take it off claen it with carb cleaner, re grease it with KY jelly that should fix the problem.
Resetting the ecu is a mith.

If its idling at 1500rpm, thats fine, its just the engine idles higher when cold, until it warms up a bit. If the needle is sticking, you may have faulty clocks. Replace with new ones or get from scrappys. This MIGHT be the problem.

Can you feel the car idling high when at 1500rpm? As said sounds like a possible Idle control valve which needs a good clean/oil.
