A silver P5 passed me. I was all giddy thinking it was my ol' gal. To no avail though.
At least I get to work on other P5s. Sold my entire audio system to CrazeeD and all we had left to do was install the OEM sub. Had to hardwire it in. Easy enough and a huge improvement.

thanks to air tools i will NEVER EVER EVER have a clunk again. i hope
starting on saturday morning, i started the drive from Edmonton, Alberta to Wichita, Kansas. i'm in my car with my dog, and my parents are hauling the fifth wheel loaded with all my stuff. the trailer makes a great shield against bugs, lol.
drove all the way to my aunt's in a small hicktown in southwest Saskatchewan (Wymark, if anyone cares to look it up). turned over 100k km on the way there, so i took a picture for posterity.
continued the journey on Sunday to my grandparents' here in southern Manitoba (Winkler, about a 1/2 hour north of the Canada/US border). saturday was fine, but halfway to my grandparents' on sunday i encountered a teeny tiny problem... called a CEL. i have NEVER, EVER, got one in my car until yesterday.
pulled over and checked out everything i could think of (gas cap - fine; oil level - fine; rad water level - fine; air filter - a little dirty, but still fine; etc). the car was driving normally, but when i popped the hood the 'tic-ing' from the engine was a little louder than normal and at idle she was a little rougher too. turning off the car didn't solve anything, so i reset the ecu and the CEL went away.
a couple hours later after filling up, the CEL came on again, so i checked the gas cap to make sure (fine). reset the ecu again, and crossed my fingers. CEL came on again a couple hours later, but we were about 1 hour away from my grandparents' so i just left it.
went to their mechanic this morning to pull the code: 2nd O2 sensor not reading proper (didn't catch the actual code, but the O2 sensor itself was fine the mechanic assured me). i was hoping it would either be this or the egr (ie, needing lubrication). put the car up on ramps, pulled off the non-fouler and found quite a bit of carbon in the non-fouler and on the O2 sensor, built up over the last 2 years. cleaned it, put everything back together again and though i haven't driven her much since (like 10km), she's running much better and so far, no CEL. keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again. i still have another 1500km to go before i get to Wichita (leave again Thursday morning for the border and south).
