Finally fixed the leaky exhaust in this. Found a nail in a tire sidewall too

Sarah loves it. So far so good on all else with daily commute to Henrietta for the last month+
Gave a cam phaser error last week. Grabbed the part but code didn’t return.

overheated sitting idling with AC on yesterday. coolant not significantly low (1qt or so). guessing the fan isn't doing its thing. I should have held out for a VW so I could plug in and tell it to cycle relays for me. I will wish for more computers to talk to cars!

If I remember correctly, the harness is pretty accessible to throw direct power at.

no issues at all since then, just needs to not idle with AC on till it gets looked at. sure does burn/leak some oil though. I keep telling her to check it and it was about 2qt low. They're known for it, and I'll bet it's the cause of that parts one being parked!

In for oil change and check engine. Seems to use 3-4qt per change. I know it got a quart or two and it was below dipstick again. I should put an engine on the shelf or make a reminder to check it myself.

Lots of water in pcv part of intake though bottom of oil cap is not sludged.

I think this has a junkyard engine in it, blue paint marker jibbrish on valve cover.

Got a new exhaust cam phaser actuator. Second instance of code for that. Could be oil getting crappy too. The Dorman part even had a notice “change the oil too or you may not fix your problem” and it was late in oil service life last time it threw the code too.

Did both intake and exhaust actuators more than a year ago(?). Still good!

How’s your oil consumption?
And the valve cover to intake hose? I pulled that off and chocolate milk poured out…
