Car works strange after changing o2 sensor.
Hey you guys I changed my sensor and unpluged the battery for overnight and the sensor light went away. But what I noticed, sometimes when you start the engine the engine just shuts off, mine RPM are like in 500 when it does that while I think they should be in 1000 RPM for the car to run on drive without pressing the pedal. I don't know maybe the ECU is just reprograming itself after being disconnected for a night and it takes some time to fix it? Did anyone had this problem???

try that...unplugging the battery won't reset the ECU like on the 5th gens....i'm not sure if you have to have it reprogrammed by the dealer or not when replacing an O2 sensor, but try this and see if it works..
