I changed out the 02 sensors on my Formula yesterday for the first time. I was getting a black sooty build-up on the right side of my bumper, and the check engine light would come on if you drove below 70 in sixth gear. My 02 sensors had never been changed, so I decided to try that first.
The problem seemed to be fixed. However, I wonder if I should've left the battery disconnected longer to "reset" the computer.
I've heard some say this is a myth, and then other folks swear you need to do this. Which is true? Does the computer need to be "reset" or will it do this on it's own after I put the O2 sensors in?
