    Is it possible to change the parameter on the engines computer to have
    better fuel millage? I find that its not very good on fuel even after
    50000km. Also, can the geardown of the automatic transmision be adjusted?
    I find that it does not drop to first gear fast enough and if i dont do a
    FULL stop, it stays on second gear and i have to give quite a bit of gas to
    move on, also possibly my problem of gas mileage.


    thank you for the information anyone can give me. :)

  2. The answer is yes and no. Yes, the parameters can be programmed, but no
    you can't do it yourself. If you haven't done it in a while, resetting
    the ECU will sometimes improve engine performance a bit. It clears the
    memory and the computer readjusts based on sensor inputs. All you have
    to do is disconnect the battery for 30 seconds or so. You'll have to
    reprogram your radio stations afterward, but it's probably worth a try.
