thanks,

How are you resetting the ECU? Are you leaving the battery disconnected long enough?

I was told by a shop that after installing a new O2 sensor, it can take the ECU up to 50 miles for the CEL to shut off. I needed the car inspected, so I completely disconnected the battery for 30 minutes and it was still on. Finally, I just drove the car about 30 miles before it shut off.

Are you sure the O2 sensor is correct for your car?
