You have no clue how happy I am to hear that. Don't know for sure, but if I'm a betting man and the engine bay was pressure washed when it was a detailed. Would not be surprised if cleaners were used as well.

I'm sure they pressure washed the engine, no doubt in my mind. Bigger question is how do I correct the code faults if the CEL comes on again? I'm so happy it is not the dreaded vac leak.

If you don't know then take it to your guy to have a look, once the car drys out none of the codes should pop up, if any do while its drying out stick the Ross Tech on & clear them ...
Thanks, Rico! You are the man. I owe you a beer... or a scotch! Thank you, sir.
