Just could not leave well enough alone I wanted to clean the battery terminals, and adjust throttle TPS sensor on pedal using the ODB-2 computer. The throttle adjustment was a success but I'll like an idiot did it with the car running and threw a check engine light. I said "no big deal I'll just erase the code" because there was no pending codes and all monitors were ready. At that point I just erased the code - i was gonna disconnect the battery anyway, so erased codes later, and a disconnected battery to clean terminals/grounds I put everything back together the car started faster than ever lol, no check engine light, no other lights, good to go i thought.
Well here i am 100+ miles later, sweating that I'm not gonna be able to get one monitor ready. (Evaporative system monitor) I drove this car from very soft in six gear 1500 RPMs lugging, to almost 6500 rpms WOT shifts Drove on the highway for about 5 to 8 miles a couple times at 59 miles an hour with cruise control set in 6th gear, took some back roads shifted through all the gears... Maybe im just being impatient lol I do only have nine start ups since I disconnected the battery, and erased the code.
What do i do now at this point? Drive it some more? Start tearing apart the emission system? I did fill up with 93 octane ethanol free and some MMO in the gas of course.. It's moments like this where i wish i was not so OCD, and could let things "go". Take a look at the pictures, and thank you for any and all feedback. To note car was not running when i snapped the pictures. Oh forgot to mention, this is on a 2012 Kia Forte Coupe SX 6 speed manual 2.4L. About 125K miles.
