Running Issue

Hi everyone,
I'm having an running issue with my 04 MCS. It does'nt run bad, as in no misfiring,flat spots,cutting out and does not set any codes, just feels sluggish at times. I have 70000 miles on the odo,did spark plugs about 5k ago.Now here's the part I dont understand. I did a ECU reset using the speedometer reset button. It ran great for five days than went back to its old ways. I than did a fuel injection cleaning using a system that draws a cleaner into the intake manifold and an additive to the fuel tank. It ran much better after doing this, I again reset the ECM, this time it ran great for about 4-5 weeks before it started running on the sluggish side again? It seems like it can't hold a proper tune very long. Any MINI tech's out there have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Happy Motoring.Jeff
