no runs better
the NAG , we just unplug it for ever and forget it ever existed, its not worth dealing with that nor is the distraction driving good (crying wolf)
unplug it, its not hard. just 4pin plug with 3 wires on all Federal USA cars. (kicks)
So no cluster removal, easy as cake?
if no tools. MPG is the best clue to engine running right(and not misfiring or bogging)
MPG. (measured correctly)
Ok, but since you know I still don't have the right tools, in your experience, can we use the MPG formula (I subscribed to fuelly.com and Im using the the fuel up log to average my MPG) just to get an average? Again with no tools just to get a ballpark. Can you know this in your case by seeing cluster after a fuelling up, and go, gee I drove 200 miles on 8 gallons of gas, in the city!!
but with tools
after any tune up, we watch the 02 sensor like a hawk and LTFT, in fact i print out all live data. and examine it for anomalies.
to see if the SYSTEM IS REALLY working,
MPG tests are long hard testing, etc.
the o2 examined in depth here (read the books on topic at ) B1S1.

02 stuck high
02 stuck low
02 swings too slow.
02 is shifted high but swings. or too low biased.
o2 fails to reach proper extents (min/max)
all this is examined and if not correct, there is something very wrong.
all cars for sure 1988 (efi) to now.
this is why 1996 cars more easy to fix. we can scan it and do that fast and log it. (no small advantage) but the rhino tool works.. too...
if mpg is not and issue>?, then drive it , forget all the above.
It is very important, that is why Im trying to correct everything with your help, although I dont have the right tools.
many a kick owners run in limp-home for 50,000 miles. or worse. and driver is happy as a clam, heck it moves?
who am i to say what is best. not me....
my nag page says, rip it out.
life really is too short for NAG lamps.. (no leaded gas here, for how long?) ended in 1996 here (end of phase out)
the nag is 19 years, useless now.. totally.
for PR it ended in 1999. 16 years ago.
the lamp means, stop get CAT checked due to leaded fuel usage,
