Would a scan assist diagnosis here? I can connect you with a guy in Nanaimo with DHP if it will help.

Yes, the cat is not a factor. :wink:

I have the actron scanner, but would welcome a scan with a better machine.

Do you think Nanaimo is too far for your car to safely make the trip? Lyndon is a great guy, and I'm sure he'd be more than willing to help, but I'll PM him first before I volunteer him.

Good stuff, it might be a big help to get a scan with a better scanner. Who knows what the Actron is missing?
I e-mailed your friend, so now it's just a matter of finding a time that is convenient for each of us.

Cool, glad to help out.

Nice cruise RPM's on the Piper by the way! What's your braking distance? LOL

Well it turns out that if the gas tank is over 3/4 full, I have no symptoms at all. Full RPM, no hesitation, all is good.

So, I am going to be stopping for gas more often. Will see what happens down the road.
