Hmmm .. probably 2000 miles or so since November. No mechanical issues other than the far left idler pulley on the bracket went bad and I had to replace it (bearing froze).

Almost forgot, take a look at the wiring harness running behind the blower in my pic. That's a bad spot to have that, you'll need to relocate it to the other side of the bracket it sits next to (the air box bracket). If you don't the cog pulley will rip it to shreds - fortunately I noticed it before I started the car

yeah u mean the wiring harness u can see right from the inside of the wheel well right?...i moved it and ziptied it back against the car more to make sure it would be out of the way from the pulley and belt.

Yeah, the black harness that comes up over the wheel well and behind the blower in my pic. You should move it to the other side of the bracket it is sitting next to on the front of the wheel well.

takes 5 secs to get the error code by using the pedal sequence. each # of flashes is the code. 10 flashes = 0, 1 flash = 1

Good job man ... now get under the car and "not-n-bolt" the whole thing before you strap it down for a tune. Never know what you might find that's loose
