It was on automatically when I started the car. Although the FFD says that I was in open loop? And 57% load... very odd, I think it may be inaccurate, possibly... or, the CEL just didn't show up whenever I was driving and happened to afterwards when I started the car next.
Whatever though, anyone want to shed some light on this? Haven't really heard of members having problems getting this CEL. Regardless, it's going to the dealership b/c it's still doing that damn sputtering thing b/c of the throttle body (need a BB stamped one rather than AB) and now this so... dammit.

Weird, here's the results I got from 6tech. Someone guessed it was the gas cap code as well and then:

I have an '05 6s ATX, and started having the same issue as most other posts: bouncing revs at idle, going down below "normal" idle revs, and when in gear (like at a stoplight) sometimes hard enough to jerk the car.
One look at the CEL code, and the dealer replaced the throttle body.. Everything is fine now, with a smoother idle on the side.

So I'm having my throttle body replaced tomorrow by the dealership. Went by today and talked w/ my friend, he said they had them in so, I made an appointment.
Also, I searched 6tech and didn't find any recall forms or anything under the MRI's or TSB's about the throttle body. I know I read somewhere that it's supposed to be replaced w/ a BB stamped new one. Old one is AB stamped.
Anyone know where that document's at? I don't think I'll have any trouble getting them to replace it but, better to be safe than sorry IMO.
Oh, and I'm using the AutoEnginuity scan tool, OBD-II / CAN BUS compatible and all that jazz. It's a cool tool, I love seeing what's wrong w/ the car rather than having to take it to the dealership. I'd highly recommend getting one. There was a rule I read posted somewhere on here awhile back. If you're gonna mod your car, purchase a scantool! It's a lifesaver.

Hey, my engine has developed a loud whine to it.
It all started after my engine bay got packed with snow (Canadian winter..)
It matches the RPMs perfect, occurs in both neutral and park. All fluids are good and I have checked all my belts. It has been over a week now and it is still whining as...
Planned to do an oil change and the first drain and fill of the tranny fluid, but got stopped by the tranny drain plug.
So #1, what size is that stinkin Allen head so I can remove the ATX fluid? (Corollary: where to fill it?)
#2, the 820S filter is HUGE. I put it on by hand, but in 5K miles...
I've got a 2004 3.0L V6, on an engine stand belly up in my garage and I would like to check the oil clearances of the connecting rod bearings. I'm probably just thick, but I've look high and low for the clearance specs and torque specs for the connecting rod bearings. I've looked through the...
