...and now it stays on. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

My 2000 is at 56K miles. I decided to swap out the plugs today(I used platinum 2's), re-up on the anti-freeze, aaand replace the PCV valve. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

One of the (for want of the correct term) long rubber sleeves on top of the plugs wouldn't come out at first, but after much twisting and gentle persuasion, I managed...

The clamp on the lower end of the radiator hose broke as I was attempting to get the sucker off...I managed to clip it with a needlenose sheet metal snip and got that done...

The PCV must've been good and clogged because the new one sounded like a babies rattle when shook- the old one barely made any sound at all...In the nick of time??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

She drove fine for a 40 minute ride. Then this evening the check engine light started in. When I let off the gas the light stayed off...When I accelerated a little it started it's on-off thing. Let off the gas and the light went out entirely. At idle- same thing...OFF.

Then it stayed on.

I'll be running by AutoZone for a free diagnostic in the A.M. Before I do that, anyone here care to give this a shot, please do! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
