Cool sig. Wish I could do more than just ask for help. My forte's in the computer dept. Feel free to PM me if you need an assist with Windows, networking, or PC hardware.
I recall this happened once before. After I had my battery replaced, and all the settings on my car were wiped out (such as the radio station presets), the car ran rough for a while. OK, so the engine computer needed to "relearn" optimal settings. It would stall out easily, that was a pain in the neck.
After a few hundred miles on the road, things started to level out, apparently enough statistics had been gathered by the engine computer for it to tune itself, more or less.
One thing I noticed right away is that the car, a 1995 Ford Taurus, would no longer go into cruise control, simply ignoring the switch presses on the steering wheel console. This is more than an inconvenience, since I drive 20 minutes twice a day commuting to work, I'm concerned I'll verge over the speed limit (er, possibly well over) without noticing.
I recall something like this happened once before after a battery reset, and after a few hundred miles, the car suddenly started accepting cruise control command again.
Well, I'm up to around a thousand miles since this incident, and still no cruise control. Engine runs OK.
Anyone ever heard of this? Any ideas, suggested remedies?
