Once I put everything in I will know for sure but I think the EA is ok.

Once I get this issue resolved I want to attack the lifter noise. I read up and know about the plastic things under the valve covers that break up and will check it out and replace them all if any one of them are bad.

But first things first. I will get the car running and drive around to make sure no more codes are thrown. I will report back tomorrow once I get everything put together.
Cool . . . goods news . . a clicking and clacking! But that doesn't mean it will idle. . . unless you've already checked this out???

What "tube"?? do you mean the rubber tubing?? It turns to mush as I said someplace in this thread (post#24) and always needs to be replaced.

The oil tubes are easy to replace; see MENU#19. You don't have to replace ALL of them . . . just the ones that popped their ends. The only hard spots is the one by the timing chain; need to remove the chain guide.
