    Still getting P1404 errors. Think I'm going to get to a Pull A Part and try again with another one. Also got a P0125 code, but filled the car with fluid before clearing that error. Hope that's all it is. And I hope my heater problems were related to the fluid issue. My car doesn't stay that hot inside, and with winter coming on, I need the heat.

    The anti-fog is a waste of money. I have never had good luck with it, I just try to keep the windows clean.

    Looked at it....car hasn't moved since Friday night.

    Braided lines minus the 5th line, I don't feel like messing with that sh1t, painted my caliper silver which didn't turn out as nice as I would've wanted, and redid my headlights/signals. Its a nice look for something different I did, pics later.

    Starting fluid did nothing. I know someone down here with a scanner nearby, but I don' know if he is home or working in the Dells today, going to see

    If starting fluid did nothing it's a spark issue.

    Put an open box of baking soda in the car. It will suck up all the odors.

    Dealership found out my rear tires are very bad & could blowout. They suggest I buy new tires from them. $181 a pop. For a pair of 255/45/18's. No way. I'm gonna use the 245/40/18's off the ole GTP. they're practically new. A bit wrongly sized I know but I can't afford new tires atm.

    Tried that too still stinks. I over did it on the air freshener in there and it's better but still you can smell it.
