    We picked it up this morning and drove the 115 miles back home over some hilly roads. Drove it more tonight. So far so good!

    Update 8 months later- still running great. Car STILL doesn't burn any oil and engine runs smoothly.

    Was the EGR system, including intake manifold cleaned? If not I would look into that soon. See first 2 links in my signature. Again, if on a phone turn it landscape to see signatures. (y)
