So, I haven't seen the CEL and code for a while now. At the rate that it was starting to be thrown, I would assume that I would have seen it again by now. I did make one change.... I have been running Lucas fuel system/injector cleaner for the past 2 full tanks (which takes me a while to run out). It has definitely helped my MPGs, and I don't know if it's just a coincidence, or if it has helped keep the code away.?.?.? I did notice something a little disturbing to me the other morning though. On initial crank up, a big puff of black smoke came out the exhaust..then turned to white smoke and continued for a few seconds before stopping. I had never seen that before. It did seem like from time to time that I would smell a little something when I would initially start up, but I never actually saw the smoke like that.
