Throttle body was changed on a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 6.1L the truck idles rough then dies. How do you reset the computer?

If your getting a check engine light on the dash,you need to correct the problem first,If you want to clear codes from the computer,you will need to unhook the battery for about 1min.
But there is no resetting of the computer.If your truck is idling rough and dying,you still have a problem somewhere,You should be looking for any vacume leaks,or one of the sensors on the throttle body like the IAC,idle air control,

Try replacing your spark-plugs/wires, cap/rotor, air-filter. Spray some WD-40 on the throttle-body recoil spring.Get a can of carburettor/throttle-body cleaner and spray the inside of the throttle-body.

87 chevy 350 fuel injected pickup wont run smoothly. Will start fine when cold and run for a few minutes then will be rough idle before finally quitting. I have replaced the distrubuter, coil, plugs, plug...

sounds like your egr valve is gummed up or bad. this is located behind the throttle body and has a single vaccum tube connected to it. if the diafram is still good you can remove it and clean it with WD 40 until the plunger works smooth
