Diagnosis...again, Please
#1
So i go to get my car inspected for SGI, low and behold more s**t.

The new Contiental Tires i got are shot, well on the front. My alignment was totally wacked and wore them all weird, which confuses me becuase i didnt drive the focus that much. And my Drivers side tire rod is bent. K so ill get that fixed and some new front tires AGAIN, should be all good.

So i got an pil change while i was at it, it was way overdue. The next day my CEL comes on. WTF! Last time i took it to ford, they said nothing was wrong and cleared the code...could it be my DPFE??? Cuz i dont think these asshats at ford did anything about it when i took it in.

Am i right on this?

PS: to the sask guys, in order for me to trade in or sell my car, does it have to be SGI approved?

Thanks guys

Tires would be shot due to the alignment being off...

You can sell the car without an inspection, but it cant be licensed by anyone in SK until it passes. Not sure of any other details than that..

Did you not whack a curb not too long ago?

Yeah i wacked the curb, which i know my alignment is off becuase of that, but i didnt think id lose my tires if i drove it a few time with the aligment out.

Im thinking its the DPFE becuase on acceleration and some highway driving it feels slightly choppy. Not really smooth on acceleration...i think they replaced the fuel pump under recall a couple moths ago.

EDIT: soory i re-read my original post, and it sounded like i was asking about the tires and alignment, i knew about that ahah...that was more of a vent, my real issue is the CEL.
