I live in a cold part of the country and noticed anytime the temperature would drop below freezing (1/2 of the year) my check engine light would turn on. The code was P070, so the engine was running lean. Decided to change the MAF sensor and spark plugs. But once the temperature dipped under freezing it would come back on, and vice versa when the temperature would increase. Found out there was a recall that expired a couple years ago about its intake manifold gasket. Very frustrating that they don't contact their customers about the recall and because it expired I have to get pay out of pocket.
