CEL-I know this has been posted 50 times but I went all the way to page 39 (the end)
I was messing with my O2 sensors because I thought that I didn't torque them correctly after putting in my Budget-Y. Me being a weakling, couldn't even turn the sensors a half of a turn so I said what the hell. I turned on the car to listen to exhaust leaks for like 30 minutes. The car has 4 different sounds (Engine turning, intake breathing, exhaust leak, and annoying muffler that grumbles like a honda civic after installing Y-Pipe). Soooo I figured I would pull my codes. 0505 - AKA no codes. SO I start my car and after 10 secs the CEL blinks. I shut it off and started again and it blinks again. I search the org for 10 minutes trying to figure it out because I know this has been posted 500 times but all I found was someone saying it was a soft code. I interpretted it as a sensor is going bad, but isn't croaked yet and I am praying it is my O2 sensors because I know they are somehow messed up. I go to start my car again and it doesn't blink; so I just rev my car a couple times to listen to the disgusting exhaust sound and then after I hit about 4K I hear this grinding sound from the engine bay. The words "what the *&^%(*#$)(*" are racing through my head and I just gave up. Man I love the luxury of the max, but every other day I tell myself I want an '02 Max.
To sum up my long story: What is a blinking CEL when the car is started and what could cause a grind in the engine bay ONLY after 4K.

The CEL didn't blink all the way to work so I think I may have left the car in diagnostic mode. I definately didn't have any tools in the engine bay. I revved up my car to 4K again this morning and heard it again before I pulled out of the neighborhood. Now I have to drive under 4K RPMs :'( . I don't think I have made it a day without going to 4.5K until today.

LOLOL WOW ... I just figured out that sound that I thought was an exhaust leak. It finally hit me like a brick wall. I HAVE BEES IN A CAN. Ugh the terribleness. It is such a disgusting sound that I am embaressed. I have got to get some exhaust wrap and shut it up. Where can you get some???
