Installing new spark plugs = resetting ECU?
I just had a question, i installed some new spark plugs, and it kinda seems like my gas milage is less then it was before, and they were supposed to increase gas milage... Ive seen people say that resetting ecu fixes some stuff when new parts are installed... Is that something i should do? If so how do i do it? thanks.

I have the boshe (spelling?) pregapped platinum ones, they have 2 extentions on them if that makes sense... you know at the end of a normal spark plug it has the little metal peice that goes up wher eu set the gap, mine has one on both sides, if that makes any difference.

oh man, i heard nothing good about bosch platinum to be used twith the lancer. the dealer told me that those werent good for the lancer. try denso iridium or NGK. another thing, is the driving any diff? i noticed when i changed mine that the shifts were a tad bit smoother. so maybe the gapping is wrong, or it is the fact that you used bosch.
