CEL after 20 minute drive
#19
Figured i'd just keep this alive instead of starting a new thread.
I bought the generic walmart scanner and cleared the code (not sure if i mentioned this). I have gotten it twice in the last 3 months or so, with the latest case coming just this past weekend. I cleared it again. I bought a new cap when i got the first p0442, my question is this: is there any problematic affects from driving with the minor leak? If it's not the gas cap? What's the fix (i've read about smoke testing???)? I want to make sure this car lasts, but at the same time don't want to pay the $200/hr porsche fee for something that really doesn't matter. OK, $60/hr for an independent, but still.
Any thoughts suggestions would be appreciated.
