mpg display

[no name]

Ok I cleaned my throttle body on Saturday. Now my mpg display starts at 0 at every start up. I disconnected both battery cables during the process of cleaning and removed the fuse to reset the pcm as stated in write up. Any ideas what is going on?

are you talking about the avg. mpg? the real time mpg display always starts on 0...

Well crap!!! Didn't even know that there was two different mpg displays. Going to the truck as soon as I am done typing. I feel like an ars.

I only have avg mpg. No real time mpg. Any thoughts on why it resets at start up.

i have no idea... ive never seen one with only avg... i though they all had real time as well...

bad ground somewhere?
bad battery connections?
defective circuit board that controls the mpg readout?

electrical gremlins suck!

Well its fixed. Have no idea how I did it but it works. Unhooked the battery for about 30 minutes and the overhead display. Works like it should.
