well, for starters i reset the computer by disconnecting the neg battery terminal and leaving the lights on for bout 30 min to drain the capaciters. this was never done when i changed my o2 sensors a few thousand miles back. now the car runs worse, it usually dies at first startup unless you give it gas and will idle poorly at around 500 rpm's when warm. i only put about 70 miles on it since disconnecting. how long does the computer take to learn everything over again and run correctly?
