2. Sensor light came on at 90k miles, my bro suggested unhooking the battery and touching the terminals together to reset the ECU (not sure if this works, he's a mechanic but I dunno, sounds like a kludge). I heard from the last owner that there is some button you can push that resets it in the passenger side floor panel, is it where the little philips head screw is or what?

3. My car when its cold seems to idle weird. By weird I mean it'll start-up maybe 1700 RPM, if I drive it a short distance and put the clutch in, the idle sometimes shoots up to around 2500 RPM (allowing for driving using only the clutch

. Usually this goes away after a couple minutes when i stop the car at a light and let it run in neutral for bit. Not a serious problem, just curioous mostly.

Thanks guys

Your oil cap may be hard and therfor making it really hard to come off.
You can get new ones at the auto parts store.

Your ECU is designed to turn the sensor light on so you will take it to the dealship.....but all you need to do is take off the kick panel and eset the sensor light. Yes this is the lil philips head screws that hold the panel on.
Turn you key on and then mash the button. I believe its on top of the box....or maybe on bottom....cant remember.

As for idle goes......well vacume has alot to do with that....check for leaks.
