They claimed that this would force the EFI computer to 'relearn' the O2 program and was a fix for what they called sluggish response to the O2 sensor.&nbsp; It was a new one to me.<br> <br> Since whatever they did solved the morning stumbles that my Van had, I was wondering if there was actually something behind this - or if it was simply automotive voodoo.<br> <br> thanks,<br> <br> Todd<br> '88 Vanagon<br> </font> </body> </html>
