« Death Valley Road Trip | Main | Oil Change and the Code Pulled »

More Fun with the Miata

So, finally I got over the 1000 mile break-in of the new engine. Mostly, the rule was to avoid going on heavy boost of the turbo, so I kept it to no more than 1-2 psi (which is rather difficult, actually).

This was last Thursday. Given our quick trip to Death Valley, I didn't get to drive it much. Last night, I got to drive it home, though. And, naturally, the check engine light went on. Again.

Damn!

It was literally just in for a fix that should have solved that. Hopefully I'll be able to take it in today and get the trouble code pulled.

I also want to get the oil changed so I can switch back to synthetics now that the break-in of the new engine is over.

*sigh* At this point, I really just want it all running and reliable again. I'm looking forward to really jumping on the turbo and getting it all tuned up and stuff, but not having to worry about it is just as much of a dream right now.
