as you remember i was having alot of trouble with the gas mileage of my car... i was getting like 230 miles a tank (horrible) then all the sudden i got a check engine light and i know my O2 sensors are going bad so i figured thats it....the engine code came up as no error. I reset the light and all the sudden no more problems with my car.... it went 350 miles this tank and the gas lights not even on.... im not complaining but this is strange.

its too bad i know the O2 sensors are shot.... the car is still sluggish but exchanging the sensors is really expensive...so untill i dont pass emissions with the ones i have... i guess i have to keep them

230 a tank?

that's pretty damn good! I get 190 or so.
but um, I thought the same, changed my O2 sensor, nothing.. I didn't get the check engine light though. I'll go reset my ECU, see what happens, since I can't think of anything else to do anymore
