I ran into a new code I'd never had the pleasure/displeasure to find before on my Edge. P019B. Air coming in around the air box.
I opened the hood, remembered it has a K&N CAI on it. It had just been serviced at the local Subaru dealer (where the PO worked), and found the air filter dropped off the mount and was doing nothing. The MAF was visible and with the snow, it was getting moisture on the sensor. The damned car would shut down (misfire) every time the snow came up under the hood.
I took it out and cleaned it up and reinstalled it. No more codes, no misfires, no bucking. I ordered an oem air filter assy yesterday and it's been shipped. While I like a CAI on the Mustang, I'm no fan of it on a family car. It's louder than oem, but it does sound good, but a bit louder than should in an SUV. IMO. Without the sound silencer, it's louder than it should be, that's for sure.

Or purchase the same home in MS and still walk away with a load of cash. You'll get taxed on it this way I expect, still, - much more in pocket.

Haven't seen much of the Banana since it was finished... must be afraid to scratch it still lol. They are working on Mischief Maker next week, recoveries in between. Matt likes to mix it up a bit. I like that about the channel, it doesn't get boring.
Did you get your editing done?

Still working on the editing. I am about 6 minutes into the video, and it was such a large project that I've got to find a way to split it up. I did so much all at once because it was convenient while I had it all apart.
My day was filled up for the most part though. I had to run to SLC today to see my parents. It was about 55 degrees today, so I drove Frankie over there (it has no heater). First time hitting the freeway with Frankie, and it did very, very well. I am leaking a bit of oil out of the PCV hose, where it goes into the intake. Kind of wondering if removing the EGR valve is affecting it. I only removed it because it was leaking, and I had a block off plate already. I've always planned on putting it back on - but this is going to speed that plan up.
Also need to locate my fiberglass plug wire boot covers that I bought. Cylinder 7 with GT40P heads is a tight spot for plug wires, and it moved enough today that rubber boot was touching the header. Luckily I caught it before it got too bad.
