Short answer is no. When the car warms up after installing the intake, take it for a drive, the mass air flow sensor will tell the computer there's more air and the computer will automatically adjust. If you reset the computer, the calibrations from all the sensors is lost and must be relearned. On some vehicles, during the relearning process, the engine may run rough and the transmission may shift harder or slip until the drive cycle is complete. Save the headache, the computer should take care of everything.

Do i need to reset my computer after installing a cold air intake for my '91 mustang its idleing and starting horribly after i installed the CAI. but seems fine once i put the stock intake back on.?
the cold air intake changed your Mass Air Flow size, and your car will see, obviously, massive decreases in performance until it's fuel/air ratio is changed to accommodate the much leaner mixture. your car is tuned for the stock MAF, and that's why the stock one works fine. you have two options- 1. is buy another cold air intake with the same MAF size, or 2. take it in to get adjusted. once one of these happens, you should see an increase of about 10rwhp. so- I'd just get it tuned- after the fact, it'll still be cheaper.

Ive installed a cold air intake in your car and now when it idles it gets really hot is there something wrong or is this normal?
No this is not normal. The cold air intake will not cause overheating. I would say you have disconnected the fan thermo relay, or the fans themselves, when installing the cold air intake. Check all the connections and the fuse. Turn on the A/C and see if the fans are running. They should run continuously with the A/C on.

What is it called to restart a computer after being shut off?
Starting a computer following a power cycle (which could have been a short and intended power cycle, or a long one, or the first time the computer is under power at all) is generally called a cold boot or cold reset, in reflection of the fact that the computer's chips, when not under power, cool down to ambient temperature.By contrast, restarting or resetting a computer without an intermediate power cycle is called a warm boot or warm reset.Some system properties will persist over a warm, but not over a cold reset. This allows for a warm reset process to be faster than a cold reset, provided that hardware and software allows for such differentiation.Since a warm reset doesn't involve a power cycle, a warm reset can also be less stressful (and less comprehensive) to peripheral components. For example, a hard disk drive may continue to run right through a warm reset, without the need to spin down and come to a halt.
