I know the advantages of eoc. In my old d15b7 I was getting 43 with normal driving. When I started eoc I achieved a best tank of 50.7 mpg. I'm nervous to try it with my new sensor in the vlx. I have heard that after a long eoc the sensor needs to heat back up for lean burn to work. Is that true? Can this damage the sensor in the long run if using eoc on a daily basis? The longest eoc I would do is 5 miles at the most. I don't want to take life away from the sensor that is so expensive.
