  3. 9-5 Workshop
    I have a check engine light on, wondering if a bad exhaust leak can trigger it? Don't know of any other possible obvious causes. She doesn't run hot, exhaust smoke isn't black or anything, starts on a dime and runs great with good compression. Oil level is good. Hmm. What about oxygen sensors?

    I recently bought this 2006 9-3 and I love driving it. But it has a split personality.

    What is the best way to detect a large evaporative leak? I had codes P171 and P0455. I've removed and cleaned the MAF sensor; the codes remain. Should I replace all hoses on the car if I got a great parts supplier quote? Is that something a beginning DIYer can do?
