All 3 times happened after fueling at unknown gas stations that supposedly have heavy traffic (don't have a choice), so I chalked it off to questionable gas. If it was consistent, then I'd certainly look for a cure, but once a year is not enough to chase a ghost now  . If you can't duplicate a problem, don't even bother with a dealer man. If it's a problem, it'll get worse for sure. And then you can get it fixed without any aggravation. Good luck. |
that's a good point because it hasn't happened for the last few days. maybe it was bad gas.
but I am worried about the last two codes (idle and the lambda sensor) - something is causing them so I want the dealer to take a look.. maybe i'll push out my dealer visit by a few weeks ...
