I gather your not getting any trouble codes?
Get the puter codes scanned at your local autoparts store.

Check your O2 sensor. if they fail the puter will go into a defualt mode. It will run fine, however your gas mileage will suck big time.

i m a living testament to that statement Tim. O2 problems are a pita, and not cheap to fix either!
