Default Is it just my imagination.....

or did replacing the battery on my car completely change how it performs? It seems smoother, and more responsive in every way. I'm familiar with the "placebo effect", but honestly, I'm in love with this car again.

If the batt was dead or not connected for over 30 mins then the engine ECU has been reset, the previous owner driving style is now gone and the car will learn how you prefer to drive.

Yeah, except that I disconnected the battery about two months ago and let it sit overnight. It did improve the dynamics of the car, but not to this degree. Whatever the case, it's all good.

LOL CJITTY and Nospinzone. "Seka" is my mistress, so the love (lust) was never gone! It's just been re-kindled......

Hmm maybe I'll have to try this. Not that I don't love the car (minus the ride quality), but the last driver was an older gentleman
