Finally got the odometer pic to show up. At first I had nothing and wasn't sure if you meant you or the car.
Now that she's properly broken in it is time to start driving.

The check engine light is on because that stupid code for the valve that's behind the block on driver side. I forget the name of it. It's intermittent.

The check valve that has to do with the cats warming up
quicker. just haven't had a chance to do something about it

If you're talking code P1415 then disconnect the hose and squirt some PB blaster in there towards the check and that should take care of it.
