So last week, during what had to be one of the coldest days of the year
(-35) i think, i had plugged in the car overnight.
in the morning, when i went to go start the car, it struggled to turn over, but it started nonetheless (as if it wasn't plugged in at all). it was however, making a strange noise, like a rur-rur-rur-rur sound on idle, not a continuous idle like it's supposed to. so i let it warm up for a bit and started to drive.
as i was driving, the MIL (malfunction indicator light) started to blink. i was thinking...oh crap, must be the new dp (although i had it in for a month so far with no problems). when i would come to a stop, the light would go solid. anyways, kept driving (and blinking) and eventually made it to work. listened to the idle again and it seemed ok.
fast forward to after work. i started up the car, MIL came on right away, then the ASR light and then the EPC light. i shut her off and started her up again and drove off right away. the MIL came on and stayed solid while the other 2 did not light up for the drive home. idle sounded ok and the car had plenty of power (boosted to 20psi).
i thought my maf might've gone bad or maybe it doesn't like the dp (apr 2.5"). so i unplugged the battery for 10minutes, hooked it back up, started her up and everything seemed fine (for a week so far).
anyways, just thought i'd share this with you guys.
