No conflicts will be caused. Ms. Chan. Hmm.. I wouldn't date miss Chan. That would be kind of weird, dating someone with the same last name.

At one point I got 7 CELs

P0102 - Mass Air Flow Circuit Low Input
P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input
P0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire detected
P0302 - Cylinder 2 misfire detected
P0303 - Cylinder 3 misfire detected
P0304 - Cylinder 4 misfire detected
P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold

CEL P0420 causes CEL to strobe / blink.

Still no cell being thrown after 5th day after reset.

So after 2 weeks of having no CELs being thrown at me, I finally get one again while just sitting in my car with my car on with engine running at low rpm. I will retrieve the code today. This is just for reference.


0:00 0 Depart 3415 S. Sepulveda Blvd. on S Sepulveda Blvd (SE)
0:02 0.6 Road name changes to Local road(s)
0:02 0.7 Turn LEFT (E) onto Venice Blvd
0:06 3.4 Bear LEFT (N) onto S La Cienega Blvd
0:09 4.7 Turn RIGHT (E) onto W Pico Blvd
0:09 4.7 Arrive 6141 W Pico Blvd

Verdict is another

P0301
P0303
P0304

3 codes this time. Any suggestion Franco? Perhaps, I'll get some plugs from you, then if that doesn't work, I'll shall look around for coil packs. Then go further if neccessary.
