Tone,
I assume you saw that in Dr David's post, yes you are correct - I changed to the oiled K&N filter and removed the screen. This is what I attributed the check engine light to initially, but as I said - it only happens in her end of town - that's the part that has me puzzled. This has been going on for a little over a month and has only happened one time elsewhere, but everytime I go there. There is no significant difference in elevation, she doesn't live on a dirt road or something that might be clogging things up. Maybe it is the mods, but I can't understand why only in one part of town. As I said in the other post, I guess I'll take it to the dealer and let them play R&R (remove and replace) until they find the problem. Another thing I failed to mention is that it seems the old girl (the VX, not my girlfriend) has been a little more thristy lately. On my fill-up yesterday, I did the math and calculated that I got 13.5 miles per gallon. I'm not a granny driver, but I don't drive it like a race car either. Based on comments I've seen here, that seems a little excessive. I've never gotten over 16mpg - at least not the times I've calculated it - but it's not been this low before to my knowledge. I did recently change to larger tires which are slightly larger in diameter (about 1/2" I believe), so this has a little to do with the mpg, I'm sure. Anyway, I'll be taking her in next week to see if they can figure it out.
