NEMOC Random BS Thread

CEL came on in the MS6 on Thursday.... Bad EGR valve. I have less than 30,000 miles on the car.. wtf?

Yah EGR valve junk up at this mileage seems to be more common now a days... Tim's CEL came on today too, around the same mileage so wonder if its the same code.
 
no I haven't washed the engine bay. I just replaced the plugs this week ... hrmmm I'm having an issue with start after it sits 5+ hours. It doesn't want to start the car just starts to die then starts. I'm wondering if thats related.

How far does it stumble when it starts after that long? Like it starts and almost stalls or just studders real quick?

Edit:
I know you just replaced the plugs this week but I would atleast recheck the gapping on the plugs.. its really quick to do and would at least eliminate the plugs as a problem.

Anyone got a decent turntable in their attic? Just picked up some LPs at a flea market and looking to get into vinyl.

As soon as it starts up it just stutters for a good 1 - 2 seconds and usually kicks right in. This morning surprisingly no stutter.
I should check but I may just bring it in this week a few things that I need done. It would be easy just a PIA taking the TMIC off to check plugs/coils.

no denso's anymore. I went back to "new" stock plugs to see if the Densos were causing my start up problem.

also tim check your coils.

Def suspect. How would I check?

I bought a code reader and I cleared the code last night. It has not returned and I just drove from Hartford to Wilmington, MA this morning. I had one possible indication early this morning right after start up but it didn't show up as a code because it didn't persist long enough. I rescanned multiple times on my way to work with no issues. 2 hour drive.

EDIT: Thanks all for your help.
EDIT2: I use shell V-power. They've recently started advertising this Nitrogen additive that allegedly cleans your engine gunk. Well this startup issue started around the time Shell started advertising this. I'm switching gas supppliers. I have no idea if all gas co.'s use this additive or if this could be contributing but just something I noticed.

The technics SL-1200's still go for big bugs on eBay. They're the popular choice for DJ's and mixers. They haven't made many changes to the design over the years but they still sell for $600/new.

Thinking about picking up one of these. Reviews are very positive and it's basically an entry-level audiophile unit. I'll have to get a decent pre-amp as well to truely enjoy vinyl.

I have a turntable I'm not using with a nice cartridge that was given to me by a friend so I could get into vinyl. If you are just getting into listening, this would be a nice setup to start with (I can let you borrow it until you grow out of it).

(It's a Technics SL1100, direct drive, and I forget what the cartridge is, but it's nice and my friend is a wicked big audiophile).
