Is it normal for MIL to turn off when OBD still has stored codes

A week ago the MIL turned on and I used a code reader to see that it had stored and pending P0341 and P0342. To rule out a suspicion before taking it to the shop, I replaced the spark plugs. After a little bit of driving (including 3 start-stops) the MIL turned off.

I used the code reader again. No more pending codes. But it still had the stored P0341 and P0342, and I couldn't use the code reader to clear them. I'm wondering if this is normal and they will clear themselves after some more driving.

The car is a 2004 Suzuki Forenza, which is a rebadged GM Daewoo model.

Can I maintain Xfinity Internet subscription without using it?

Hello, this is a followup to my previous question about CA Lifeline. To recap, at present I only have Internet Essentials which is fully covered by Lifeline. I will be moving from my current location soon and may be moving into another place that has existing service, so I might not need xfinity to be enabled at the new address (or can't, because they already have xfinity under a different account - can one address have multiple accounts?).

However, I was also thinking about adding Xfinity Mobile with a bundle plan that requires Xfinity Internet. My question then is, can I keep the Xfinity Internet (Essentials) that I currently have, even though it's no longer being used, so that I can get and stay on a bundle plan with mobile?

Any gas stations with completely free air pump here?

I know you can ask any station for free use of the air pump and state law requires them to provide it. But this usually means having to go inside to ask and they will turn the pump on by remote. I'm looking specifically for a station that does not try to ask for money at the machine and simply provides a start button.

Monthly pass and VTA

I live in the South Bay and got hired for work in SF. Seems like Caltrain is the best option for that commute if I don't want to drive it, but I'm a little confused by how much it's going to cost in total due to varying explanations of the transfer allowance.

If I'm taking the train then I need to get to the local transit center, and paying for parking there is out of the question. (I could eventually get a bike or something but for now that's not happening.) So I will be taking VTA to the transit center / Caltrain station.

Supposedly with a Caltrain monthly pass (2+ zones) I should receive some kind of fare credit when transferring to or from VTA, within 2 hours of the original tag. Beyond this, there doesn't seem to be much of an explanation or agreement between different sources. So I'd like to ask someone who is actually using this how the system works.

  • Does each trip (2-hour window) need to include tagging the Caltrain stop in order to offset the VTA fare, or...
  • Does the Caltrain monthly pass actually function as a general purpose VTA pass as well? (Not including premium bus routes.)
  • Does the VTA credit apply to a single ride or is it unlimited within the 2-hour window like how Clipper normally works? In other words, if I need to take multiple buses to get to Caltrain, are they all included in the free transfers or do I end up having to pay anyway?
  • Does this work both ways? (Going from VTA to Caltrain, and from Caltrain to VTA)

Or if there is a better way of doing this, please share.

I currently have Xfinity Internet only and was just approved for CA Lifeline discount. I see that I can also get a $10 discount on a mobile plan, and was wondering how that would work. My specific questions are:

  1. All of the phone+service bundles seem to be priced for 36mo, but is there a way to compress the device payment plan to 1 year instead? I'm not sure that I will still qualify for Lifeline next year so I hesitate to get a more expensive bundle if the device cannot be paid off in the first year.

  2. If I add mobile service to my account, will the CA Lifeline discount for it automatically be applied or do I need to reapply as a bundle recipient?
