Back guys, Im going to Pepboys to pick up a scanner in the morning then I'll post whats wrong.
SPTA- A chip is very good with gaining performance, firms up shifts, and so on....But I'm not sure if it helps MPG, someone here should know.

BTW, lets think about this, As soon as the CEL came on a brought it to the mechinac and he said it was nothing. After awhile of it on I called him again and he still said it was nothing to worry about.
Then when i joined this GREAT site i learned that something is wrong.
Theres nothing wrong with my qoute "response/resolution time" so don't be talking.

I thought you could change some of the computer settings without reflashing it with a new program?
