Thanks for coming out to the meet yesterday. It was great to finally meet you guys and I had a good time wrenching on our cars. Pete I looked all around and couldn't find your keys. However after everyone left I drove my car and my check engine light came on blinking which means there is a misfire, so maybe you dropped your keys in my manifold and thats where my problem is  . If you guys want to get together again when its cooler i'd be more than happy to host another CEG meet. BTW anyone know why my car is misfiring now? Steve

Sounds like a fouled plug! or maybe one of the spark plug wires aren't firmly seated, either way sounds like a quick fix. Thanks again for hosting Steve, that was a awesome meet and it would good to finally get to meet some of you guys. Also big thanks to Ryan and Pete for all the help, it was quite a learning experience  although i think the most important thing i learned was to never work on a contour in 90+ degree weather

LOL. Our standard reply. Scan the codes, then post it. LOL. In the meantime, check to make sure the spark plug wires are not loose at both plug and coil ends. You have a PM.

LOL. With heat index we were looking at 100. But a good time was had by all!

Steve: I have to check the post office to see if maybe I left my keys there - I'll let you know. (Keep an eye out at your place too though!) Get the code pulled and post them. How's the car running? Any difference now than before cleaning? To tell you the truth, I was pretty out of it/delirious by mid-afternoon.

Start with the plug wires and coil pack. IIRC, you and Pete were starting to try to put the plug wires to move them...or that could have been on someone else's car. Originally posted by Silversvts:

speaking of CELs... I had an intermittent code for EGR flow, commonly caused by the DPFE sensor or something related to it (this is why my EGR was so shiny, I replaced it before searching around on the site). but since the meet I haven't seen any CELs . maybe the EGR path was just too clogged up, or maybe it'll come back
