The day apparently. It was still running a little weird yesterday fired up this morning to get some exhaust work done on it and it ran great so I drove it a many miles after the exhaust and it's still running great! So great I was even able to get tail happy

 honestly I'm thinking some sensors were just needing to get driven on so they can learn. My new map sensor shows up tomorrow because it is still throwing a code 34 maybe that will make the check engine light go away.

I guess the ECU needed time to learn.

Yeah I guess so it's still randomly throwing code for the map and EGR but runs fine . Getting 19 mpg . Developed a little bit of a tick at 2k to 3k RPMs . So I'm gonna re lash the valves and  re set the preload . But first going to run some seafoam threw the oil and see if that helps
