Default help.....

So my car has had some trouble starting, but its only like once a few weeks sometimes more. Yesterday when i was driving it the mileage (its digital) kept resetting itself to zero when i would turn it on. and I'm burning fuel faster than i normally do according to my gas gauge. I have no idea what is going on. any feedback would help tons. thank you!

are you throwing any codes or lights in the dash?

how many miles on the car? and does it still have the oxygen sensors? if it is high mileage you may want to replace the oxygen sensors (Fronts)

have someone scan it before you change the o2 sensors. they are pretty expensive to change both of them and not be sure. if anyone has tuned the car for you they will be able to tell if they are working properly (or if you know someone that tunes and will hook up to it for you).

Verify gas mileage and have the codes read.
