Disconnect the battery negative cable and let it set for 15 minutes. Then reconnect it, this should force the engine computer to restart from scratch. You may find that the car is a little rough starting or running or the fuel economy may rise for about a tank's worth of gas but that is the computer re-learning all your engine parameters. This may fix it, not a guarantee. Of course, you will also have to reset the clock and all your radio presets.
