Ok, I know someone's going to flame me. Either I'm not good at searching, or it's not there. The former of the two is most likely....anyway.
My 2002.5 P5 (autotragic)wasn't running great. You'd push the gas pedal down just a bit and not much would happen---it would hesitate a bit. I also have an annoying whistle sound at 71-72mph. It's not the windshield seal. If you let off the gas, it goes away. If you go faster, it goes away...mostly. If you put the tranny in neutral, it goes away. Under a slight to moderate load at 71-72mph, I get a whistle sound; higher pitched.
Anyway, I took off the intake (stock) and cleaned the throttle body with carb/choke cleaner and a stiff brush. Tons of crap in there. Took several tries to get it clean. Started the car and it sputtered a bit as it burnt that crap out of the intake manifold. Then ran fine to a nice idle. I decided to leave it running and see if I could hear the whistle. I thougt I did around the intake (stock). I kept the engine running and took the rubber pipe off down by the box. Car stumbled a bit and I put it back on. Did more searching but nothing looked abnormal. Put the car back together and went to bed.
Got up this morning and drove to work. Wow! Throttle response is immediate. It's great! Unfortunately, I now have a CEL. I think it has to do with my removing that rubber pipe as air entering the engine was no longer metered; might also explain why the car stumbled a bit.
Can someone tell me how to read the codes and then what they mean?
Thank you.
Curt
