Possible ECU Problem??

Possible ECU Problem??
The strangest thing keeps happening to me, every time I full up which is with premium, my miles till empty keeps going up one week it would be 350, the next week 370 the next week 395, and yesterday was 405 miles until empty, and this has been happening for the last 2 months. Could there be something wrong with my ECU? I mean lately the car has been performing better especial with the a/c on which I find weird. I don't seem to be burning extra fuel or running rich, because I fill up every Thursday and get the same gallons to full up? I do have a check engine light on, which someone said its an crank/cam shaft sensor. Would that have anything to do with it????

How can that possibly be good?

CEL relates only to the engine, typically.
Any Autozone or other parts store can read the code for you for free. Only then can you begin to diagnose your issue. As said before, ABS has its own fault lamp.
CEL illuminates for a reason; its needs to checked, even if the car is seemingly OK.

Your going to have to do some reading..... and you could have searched your code number. Do that in the future. I don't know about your dte problem though

Why not buy an OBDII from a Pep boys, Sears, etc... You can reset the codes. Also, with the right model, you can find out what the codes mean. Its worth the money about $110 to $170. Buy it for your Nissan and it can be used in cars from 1994 going forward. Its worth the bucks!

All you had to do was search "P0021" and you would've got your answer on everything about that code. That's all i'm saying. If you can't do any amount of research yourself on your problem....... Good luck.
