Hello:

I had an idle problem after replacing my fuel filter last week, and today the car started idling correctly ; I really don't have an explanation, but the car is as smooth as silk now.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with their thoughts and ideas!!!

LOL, I like it even better when the MIL/check engine light turns off by itself after being on for the last 10,000miles....

learn cycle...

btw, depending on who you ask, some say it takes 20 starts, some say 40 starts for the ecu to learn.

page 9-19 thru 9-20 of my 1997 owners manual lists the procedures to do the complete drive cycle.
