Sixto, It's not burning oil, and I haven't altered the idle speed. BUT I just searched "ELR actuator" to see what to disconnect and ... wow! I realized that it's a plug that has been disconnected - probably quite a while - not sure how long. it may also been something I fugumbled while doing work years ago. Who knows?

Last week after a 300 mile freeway drive, the rear liftdoor had the dreaded oil spray patina. Friday I got the car up and replaced the leaking oil pressure sensor. That's when I saw the dangling ELR plug while looking for more leak source(s). Saturday with the engine cool, I plugged it onto the ELR prongs. Today, Sunday I didn't start it early (cold). It was sun warmed and started nice. Tomorrow I'll start it cold - and with the ELR plug connected.

Roll Guy. I hear you - and had a flash of that dread. I'll start with cold start idle stuff first. And I will be sure not to touch the cruise.
