What Did You Do To Your HHR Today?
It's 7:45 in the morning and the temp has gone up a bit, -11 degrees and I have frozen pipes under the house, 6 inches of fluffy snow, and the snowblower decided to blow up the electric start. One pull on the pull start gave me a broken rope. I shoveled for 2 hours and got about 3/4 done...Want to trade?? P.S. Happy Holidays!!
We were supposed to go home to Tennessee for Christmas but still dealing with hurricane damage here in Daytona Beach Shores. 8 degrees in TN. 65 degrees here in Daytona. Midnight HHR doesn't like cold anyway!!
We are staying home, we stocked up with groceries and water, I filled the BlackSwan and Terrain with fuel and filled the snowblower fuel and jerry can! We can still see grass through the snow, it’s very windy, blowing the snow right by us!
drove to pick up our weekly visitor (grandson) and it was -7 degrees with strong blowing winds, piling snow across the roads in drifts 5-9 inches deep. I drove around most of them and picked him up (about 35 miles each way) and driving home, the plows were out making things easier. 5 hours latter the kid tried to take the HHR to work and got the dreaded 2176 error code and it wouldn't idle let alone run. Tried resetting error code but it came back up again. Have to take a peek in the morning when it is light out. This happened last year in the same cold temp setup so maybe it is the throttle gears and sticky lube (??) Maybe a heat gun would help things out?? it is supposed to warm up next week in the 30's gotta love minnesota winters -15 one week and 36 the next. At least I don't have to fight with getting to work....
That P2176 code could mean a wiring problem, dirty pins in the connections, loose wires, clean those and put some dielectric grease on the connection.

Today, we still have blizzard warning in effect, ordered to stay off the roads, so we’ll just stay home .

Yesterday with -30 wind chill the power went out so I headed for the basement (outside cyclone doors) to figure out how wire the boiler to my portable generator.
There’s probably a correct way to arrange for easy safe switch from house power to a generator, but I have no idea what that is.
