The car’s runnin’ great. I did get a couple codes a couple weeks ago: P1128 and P1130, which I promptly deleted using my code reader. This was because needing to do the local NE Ohio “E-Check” (emissions testing) in order to get my new registration, and the testers’ll instantly Not-Pass you if you car’s showin’ any CELs. I DID pass, though the guy had problems getting their scanner to read the data from the car (“Did you just get some work done on this, or change the battery?” I was able to answer truthfully, with a straight face, that No---no work done, and no battery replacement. I didn’t elaborate..). But as a result of that they had to do the dyno/sniff tester on the exhaust. As I mentioned, the car passed, but he did say the hydrocarbons were elevated some---inching towards the cut-off value for passing.

I don’t know, but I assume that’s related to the two codes I got on my scanner. And though it’s not hard to remove the oil cap at idle, I definitely do hear suction sounds that are louder (and stronger) than I believe I’ve ever noticed before. So yeah, I’m gonna get the AOS replaced first chance I get. Even if that happens not to be the problem, it’s due for replacing in any case..

Thanks for the tips on AOS replacement, but like I said---I'm delegatin' this go-round. If I ever get around to puttin' Jager's kind of mileage on this car, I'll have other opportunities to utilize these suggestions myself
