Check engine light came on soon after last oil change. Car stalled at low speed three times. Took it back to mechanic who said it had “system too lean” message, told me to take it to a dealer. I took it to Auto Tech Service, they couldn’t find anything wrong except carbon build-up, which they removed and turned off engine light. Light came back on again soon after. Took it to Kasey’s shop. Performed smoke test, found leak at PCV hose under intake manifold. Removed and replaced PCV hose. Included renew intake manifold gaskets. Labor: $233 (abt 3 hrs) Parts: PCV hose $46.55 + gasket $30.52 = $77.07 Supply charge: $3.97 Sales tax: $4.62 Total: $318.76
