Reset ECU
Should I reset my ECU after I replace the O2 sensors? How long should I leave the negative terminal of the battery disconnected to be sure the reset took?

I just disconnected the ECU overnight and after the second fill up my fuel mileage improved by 1.2 MPH. Pretty significant when my norm is 17.5 MPH in the city and I was only getting 16.3 MPH before the ECU reset. I would highly recommend a ECU reset every so often.

My understanding was that I could reset the ECU by simply pulling the EFI fuse for a few minutes, and this helps save seat/side mirror/steering wheel/radio settings. Seemed to work for me after O2 sensor change recently, though I have since had to disconnect the battery terminals for cleaning anyway.
