I think I broke my ecm screw
I've had this ongoing 02 sensor CEL problem, and now hopefully it might be resolved, but I've been reseting the ECM with a good ol' fashioned screw driver, and it no longer stops on the little marker, it just turns and turns and turns...I hope I haven't just put a major dent in my wallet...

why would u keep resetting the ECU if u got a code ?
this is dumb, im sorry but masking the problem DOES NOT MAKE IT GO AWAY
next time, when ur car tells u: " Hello Owner, my o2 broke down and i cant mix A/F properly, can u please fix it" you should say: " Sure my dear maxima" and not "Shut up my stupid maxima you dont know what you are talking about"
Sorry but i HAD to make it sound THIS simple ...
PS: This is the way your maxima punished you for resetting the ECU for no reason, and for not listening to it

oh ok thats another story, so u replace the sensor and the same code remains after resetting the ecu huh
lets see, try leaving the battery disconnected for some time
are u sure u r reading the code correctly ? and ar eu sure u r replacing the correct sensor ? of its o2 then u may have replaced the wrong sensor in the Y
but if the screw is kaput, then u should get a scanner

this kinda seems like the problem i had..... Except, it was the screw driver that was spinning not the ECU thingy.. cheap plastic stuff.. I just used a bigger screw driver and made my own fitment. My guess is i have about 2-5 ECU reads left before its completly garbage.
