Engine runs well with preset maps, training messes it up

Hi,

This stumps me.

I reset my ECU after changing the cap, rotor and wires, and it ran great for a few miles, and then I notice that it is slowly going back to its bad state.

Re: Car drives better on a near empty fuel tank? (01accordv6)

Ok,

I must maybe rephrase my question. Other than the reduction in weight, could there be some factor which might make it drive better with less fuel in the tank?

Re: when should i replace o2 sensor? have 100k on 1994 accord LX auto (Obsidian)

Those iridium plugs seem to be a culprit, try the usual ngk v power plugs, they perform really well and are a great buy for the price.

Re: strong fuel smell in engine oil (n20need4vtec)
