I drove my E53 for the first time in a couple of weeks. In retribution, it threw a trifecta at me. But to be fair, after the first trip the trifecta went away. Then, the check engine light has been on (for lean codes, I believe due to a vacuum leak) and it went away but then came back. Fortunately, when the lean code trips the check engine light, the idle is rock solid and stable, so I got that goin' for me. It rolled over 135,000 miles on today's trip.


Anyways, I need to take the intake tract apart again and make sure it goes back together right. I ordered a new VDO MAF since I'm resorting to the parts cannon to get the idle and CEL issues figured out.
