Heh, yep! I had an exhaust leak trip me up. Fixed the leak, then instinctively reset the code. IIRC, there was one code. Took it to get inspection. Nope, 4 sensors not ready. :evil: They told me to drive it a bit, then come back. Since I was working from home, driving was kind of a big deal. After a...

<SNIP> Slip the belt off and spin the pulleys. If the bearings are dry you can hear the ball bearings rattle. You can replace just the pulley, or I learned years ago you can lube then with a grease needle. I'd replace with OEM while parts are still available, and if the pulley bearing is just okay,...
