I can't find some information about CEL on the dash. When I turn the Key in ON position the CEL stays as long as I start the engine I mean even 10 minutes, but when it starts then it disappear.
I'm asking because I run out of thoughts. When engine is cold it barely starts, feels like it works on 3 instead of 4, on 20 seconds, when i press throttle it even dare to stall in that time, sloppy reaction on gas throttle, but when it achieve operating temperature, its ok but not great, still reaction on gas is laggy. And I think its running too hot, valve cover after 3-5 minutes on idle is impossible to touch.
Done O2 sensor, valve cover seal, new spark plugs, injectors cleaned and with new gaskets, checked the MAF (working) etc. One thing I notice is small crack on exhaust manifold, but I don't believe its because of that. To be honest even if its hot outside, cold start gives water vapor, but its not coolant, not thick, just water, like in normal car in winter but it disappear fast. thanks for any advice and help.
