Good evening Manny,


Another field combined, three left to go.  We'll try another one tomorrow.


Any idea why I can't get an error code from the OBD2 reader??  Why would the CEL come on but the OBD2 reader tell me there are no errors?


I do agree with the possibility it might be something unrelated to the Vararam.  If it was, would it most likely be something leaking between the meter and the front of the throttle body?  If it was between the meter and the air filter say then it would measure any excess airflow going into the engine caused by a leak.  But if the leak was between the air meter and the throttle body then the meter woudl not be measuring it and would then not be applying enough fuel for the volume of air being drawn into the cylinders thus why it would be running leaner.


I think that I would tell the dealer that I was ignorant and that is how the car came when I bought it.  Mom always says in a situation like that to play dumb.  Of course they might just say the fault is with the Vararam and might not be willing to consider any other source of the CEL being on..........


Cheers,


Garry
