Resetting the computer will not make a non-firing plug come to life. The only thing disconnecting the battery did was erase your radio presets and reset the clock. The outside temp sensor will recover after a day or so.

A non-firing plug is likely the plug itself or the coil pack. Unless you have a lot of miles piled on, I'd be surprised at either.

i know it wont fix a mechanical defect but i was reading about lack of power and possible 02 sensors or other electronics causing the severe lack of power and bad mileage.

thanks
