Maby you need a throttle cleaning too...

I bought my 2007 civic 4 years ago, when it had 6 years old, and the FCO was always under 1800-2000 rpms...
So at highway speeds (above 2000 rpms) it always shows some consumption...

I'm talking about SGII values here, because Onboard computer always shows zero when off the throttle...

But some months ago it start to FCO under 1500 rpm only...
That caught my attention...
After a reset it got worst, under 1200 rpms or so...

Now after the throttle clean and calibration, even above 2000 rpms it shows zero!!
Maby it's supost to be like this since new! Once it had already 6 years when I bought it, it should have already some dirt on throttle body...

Really happy with results, because it's smoother, it looks like it acelarates better, and this few days looks like I'm getting more mpg in daily commute...

Advise everyone doing that clean every 60k miles!
