It is cold with a 18F temp and wind chill of 5F.

Went shopping with my wife and I noticed that the car was running a bit odd - rough at first. After about the third store, started the car, exited parking space and saw a CEL. Car wasn't showing any signs of rough running or anything that might worry me so we made two more stops and headed home.

Scan tool shows a PO 2187. I cleared the code and it didn't come back.

I haven't checked to see if the gas cap or oil cap are tight. If it is a PCV issue, I won't do the job, too cold and from what I read it is not a cheap job. As I have said on other occasions I am not a fan of the engineering on some Volvo PCV systems. To me it is over engineered. If 99% of the cars can run with the little valve going into the valve cover why did Volvo feel the need to create a nightmarish system of hoses and traps.

Oh well enough of complaining.

Is there anything else to look for?
