IS350 fuel effeciency down
For some reason, my fuel effeciency has gone down alot. Im barely getting 150 miles on half tank. I noticed this after I took off my air intake housing to replace my light bulbs.
Connections are all good. Anyone else experience this before?

how many miles? I ask because of spark plugs...but that wouldnt result in a sharp decline....unless one started misfiring. But that'd probably cause you CEL to go on,
Maybe you got some some dirt in your MAF your intake removal? Again, could have caused the CEL to go on, but might be worth hitting it with some MAF cleaner.

Im nearing half tank and i only hit 120 miles. While was swapping out my bulbs, I forgot the air cleaner was off an tried starting the car. well, it didnt start and I realized i had the airbox off. When I reconnected everything, I had a warning light on the dash, I forgot exactly what it was but after a couple minutes, it turned off. Could that have anything to do with it? If i remember correctly, I think the warning message was ECM or something like that.

To address your issue, disconnect the neg terminal on your battery for 10 minutes. It should reset everything.
