Maybe you forgot to reconnevt some sensors.
isconnect the battery won't reset ECU, you need the code reader to reset it.

All I need is a flat head screw driver to check my codes and reset the ecu. No autozone is necessary. It only takes like 2 seconds to turn a screw driver.

Check out the stickies people

You should drain it ASAP. It clogs the engine and a waste of money unless you are driving a car from the 70's.

RESTORE, personally i dont think its to bad just dont use it again but if you use cheap enough oil then heck id change it.

I wouldnt use sand paper on my TB as it is coated with teflon which that will pull off.

to get the accordin off the TB just keep yanking and loosen the clamp as much as you can.

I don't know what I did wrong, I disconected the battery , then this morning when I conected the batery the light still there!

Same thing happened to me. I used seafoam. Funny thing is that its not the CEL light that comes on, but the SES light. Mine just went away yesterday, after 122mph the night b4, and 1.5weeks with the light.

ps: first post. I'm a mazda guy. mx6
