    You trust those guys? :-) I shouldn't be a farm sphincter to them - they are good guys just doing their job.

    Have to ask, for the oil pressure sensor - cleaning the screen out that is under the sensor port?

    If really concerned, can get a tee and throw in a mechanical gauge.

    I did not clean the screen,but with only 5k on the engine I doubt that is it. I will check it though.
    I have a mechanical gauge already on it. With that same fitting.
    I am not to worried about it. The problem is I need an emission test to get Arizona plates. They check obd2 for codes.

    I have no way of resetting the code. I could unhook the battery I guess.

    While driving yesterday I saw my 3rd G8 in the Phoenix area. They actually honked and waved.

    It's funny because I am the one who usually waves,most never wave back.
    Unhooked the battery for about 10 minutes. Started the car no check engine light and 38 lbs of pressure. I will go for a drive later and see if it stays off.
    May head up to Scottsdale Pavilions tonight
