Disconnect the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect it and start the car.

D'oh, so obvious I overlooked it. Pulling the ECU fuse is easier, unless your battery terminals need cleaning. Fuse #32 Labeled: BACK UP

So I just pull the fuse out and wait a couple minutes and put it back in and start car?

I would disconect your neg. terminal for 5 min. Then reconect it and start your car without touching the gas pedal. Let it idle for about 15 min and then turn off your car. Then start her up and your ready to go.

The fuse also works, but I think it's easier to just disconect your negative terminal.

i would still put the stock intake back on and see if that's even the problem. doesn't seem like it to me. maybe the fuel filter, or pump is bad. :dunno:

Fule Filter is pretty much brand new, just had it changed not too long ago. Could be pump, haven't changed that in the 20K i've had the car. I might just take it to Precision Tuning and see if they can tell me whats wrong, they know what they doing better than I do. Could yall tell me how I could check to see if my O2 sensor is off or not, friend told me that could be the problem to...? :dunno:

Not to sound newbish but could someone tell me how to check to see if the o2 sensor is off or not? Friend told me that could have something to do with my mileage problem too.

Yes a bad O2 sensor with knock your milage down -- as too will a small crack in the exhaust manifold. That is what I found on my Civic just last night. Bummer...
