A quick follow up with the Check Engine Light problem I ahve been having with my car. I took the car to Bob's garage with the idea of having the entire intake manifold pulled in order to replace the gasket which we believed was leaking. Before starting that job Bob pulled the rubber hose attached to my cold air intake which had visible cracks near the hose clamp. Once it was removed we noticed that the entire end of the hose was cracked and split so that a lot of air was leaking.
Bob suggested that this was the cause of my Check Engine Light problem and replaced the damaged hose with an oil resistant hose which should eliminate the problem. He reset the computer and I did have a radiator service done as it was needed anyway. We're pretty confident that this will solve the problem! It's a lot less work and lot less money to repair!
Now that I won't be spending a ton of money to have the intake manifold gasket replaced I can look into the brighter light bulbs.
