How long should the car idle after i put back the battery? Do i step on the gas pedal immediately or i wait for the ECU to pick up the new settings and normalise. I appreciate all the advise. Thanks, Micheal.

Dear All, Please advise me the best and correct way to do a hard ECU Reset on My Subaru Forester SF5 Model 2000 Automatic Transmission. Regards, Micheal.

5-6km/l is on the short trips,I have not been on a highway with it.I will also check out the brakes and see if they are sticky. My air condition is not working overtime,I use it once in a while. I will go ahead to replace my 02 sensor,we do have an NGK distributor in the country where i will buy one. My tire pressure and wheel alignment are fine i did them recently when i bought new tires.I will have a mechanic look at the Engine Temp Sensor. Let me replace the 02 sensor,Fuel Filter and check the brakes too.I will keenly observe the fuel consumption after these repacements. I appreciate all the expert advice and tips you have given me so far. Thanks, Micheal.

My full tank is doing about 350Kms.Its doing about 5-6 Km/L. I did also change my tires from the original 205/70/R15 to 215/70/R15.The new tires are taller and am starting to get worried they slowed the car abit thus affecting the fuel consumption negatively. I did service recently and changed the Air Filter,I was also thinking of changing the fuel filter to a new one soon hoping to get better fuel economy. Please advice should i go ahead and switch the tires to 215/65/R15 these seem normal height and make the car more stable.

I have changed my spark plugs to iridium however my fuel consumption is still high.I have just acquired the car and it has done 130,000KM.
