    Last night my check engine light came on. I got code 25, a lean engine condition. I haven't had the chance to inspect it yet, but it still drives perfect. Will the light reset when the problem is resolved or do I need to reset it by disconnecting the battery? Ant idea what could cause this problem?

    Just try disconnecting the battery and if it goes away you should be fine. If it comes back you should definitely get it fixed/checked out asap.

    Make sure your intake pipe from the VaneAirFlowMeter (basically airbox) to the Throttle body has no leaks or tears.
    Theoretically there could be a leak in the exhaust before the o2, that's possible.
    And then the injectors could be "dirty" and not allowing a good enough mixture.

    I used to have Code25, talk about losing mpg...

    IIRC OBDI toyotas will store the code indefinitely. I think it keeps the light on forever unlike OBDII which will turn the light off after a certain number of ignition cycles that are OK

    spray some carb cleaner on the injectors and the idle went up. Look like a few bad injector seal.
