Doesn't look too serious, I'm thinking my maf is dirty. I'll have to research these more when I get home.

let us know what the codes meant rob. hopefully nothing major. as for the cold winter my cars started great every time. i've never had my temp reading be --- had -40 for the coldest last year end of january in cold lake.
and it still started. I got screwed on a block heater. I should rig something up for next year atleast.
Yup I'll let you know.
On a side note. Earlier in the winter I was having bad hesitation issues if I put it in boost. I left it all winter as it was too slippery to boost anyways and then just the other day when it was warm I got on it and the hesitation was gone. Very wierd indeed. I'm thinking it was bad fuel and or a dirty injector. The injectors and such will get a good cleaning come spring so I'm not worried.
Just something for the rest of you to note in case it happens to you too.

Its been nice the last few days, ive been tempted to bring out mine for a rip. I can wait the extra month and a half though.
On a high note, my insurance has gone down $600/year. Now im paying $100/month for my DD 99 Neon and my 04 Cobra.

Yeh Ernie I have my ride out..... haha actually it is still sleeping!!! I have a 2008 Ford Ranger for a rental right now and there isnt even 3000km on it so it's nice for the time being! I'm excited for Spring though.... Have some nice parts coming in for it!!! Actually while im on the topic who has some tips for waxing. I used Maguires last summer and it was amazing, but I was think of using the scratch-X first..... I'm not sure what do you guys do?
