Yes it is Steve, and thanks for the suggestion, could you
make it easy to locate that sensor? I assume it is a simple on or off switch checkable with an ohm-meter.

Maybe the floor mat is stopping the pedal from going far enough to reset the
system, seen this too. "The Juice" > wrote in message ... > Yes it is Steve, and thanks for the suggestion, could you > make it easy to locate that sensor?

Looked at the throttle linkage and saw nothing that looked
like a sensor.............. Steve B. > wrote in : >>> Changed oil & filter myself for the first time in my 2001 and >> tried my damndest to reset the change oil indicator.

I have only replaced adjusted them on Cadi's where the display on the dash lets you know when you have it adjusted right Sorry I can't offer any help on adjusting/replacing yours. Steve B. |

I would pick an interval that is less than the maximum recommended by
the manufacturer and stick with it. Remember that the oil change interval chosen by a car manufacturer is in part influenced by how it effects the widely publicized annual-cost-to-maintain figure. Personally I change oil every 3,500 miles because I want to drive my car at least 300,000 miles. |

If you can't get it to reset any other way, maybe you could try
disconnecting the battery for a few seconds and see if it will force a reset condition when you power back up. The ECM will have to go through its little song and dance for a while, but that is not such a big deal. |
