It's probably low on brake fluid. They have a sensitive switch. Check the master cylinder level.

Did you unhook the battery for 5 min. after changing it to clear the codes?

Same thing happened to ours the reverse band broke luckly i bought the extened warrenty.

Jf the light is on, you should be able to get a code. You can turn it off by disconnecting the battery for 5 min or so. Take it to Autozone to make sure about the codes. It makes repairing a lot easier if there were several and after clearing there's only one. Make a noye of what they were.

Usually the fuel pressure regulator makes them run rich. Have someone turn the key to ignition while you hold the shrader valve in to see if you get pressure at that time. Where did you get the pump? We got one from Autozone that wouldn't pump. That can happen from any place. Recheck the lines to make sure you didn't pinch one. Been there, done that.

Most of the drain plugs are 13mm. The oil filter is removed as most other cars. Welcome to the forums.

Thanks for the information on both posts. Happy Thanksgiving.

I get an average of 17; that's fill up, drive all over, fill up, do the math. On highway only, the best I've gotten is 22 on a long run at about 60 mph. That's on gas, too, not E85. E85 gets me about 14 on the highway.
