After my track day in Salinas this past weekend (60 minutes of track time, what a blast) I drove home and parked the car. I took the car out monday and washed it and on the way home from the car wash I got a check engine light. Read it with the dashdaq and its the P0505. Bummer. Anyway, the car was running fine so I decided to ignore it until after vacation. Took the car out wednesday and it would hardly idle. Soooo, today I got out the tools and florescent light to do an exploratory. I felt it was a leak somewhere so my plan was loosen the manifold screws and re torque them. Went to loosen the first screw and it was already loose. THEY WERE ALL LOOSE! Not even finger tight. How the car was even running, I don't know. Got them all re torqued down and now the car purrs again. I still have the P0505 however. The engine is idling at 700 RPM's so something is still leaking. I don't know if the manifold gaskets are where the leak is or if some other part is also loose. (I have the Needswings cork gaskets on the car) The original drivers side metal gasket got a bit bent so I don't want to reuse it. Who wants to guess what's still leaking? Can I reuse the stock gaskets if necessary? Anyone else get rid of a P0505?
