Major Problem! DSC light,Flashing Check Engine and Barely Starting!
#21
Have you followed any of the advice given to you? I'm confused. It appears that you've been told to try a new battery and haven't tried it. You were told to check the grounds. Neither of these are tough to do. If the battery doesn't fix the problem you can return it. If there is nothing wrong with the ground clean it really well and put it back as a good preventative. I get that the battery is testing as good but in the little time I've spent researching these cars I have come to realize that anything less than a perfect battery can throw things into an uproar. Besides that you live in a cold climate which can make a battery weaker.
Also, a heat gun under your hood won't help you in any way that I can think of. Unless you are looking for melted plastics. In which case it's a great idea.

Did the mechanic explain exactly what frozen exhaust means? Was the tail pipe plugged by snow and ice? Did condensation build up and freeze in a low point of the exhaust system? Is the car parked nose down hill? For example. Did you back up into a snow drift before parking the car? Remember the old potato in the exhaust pipe trick? Not trying to be funny, just very curious.

DSC not available, Engine system fault, parking brake CAN happen with a battery that has gone bad, but if you have that sequence it more often occurs with the TPS (Throttle position sensor) on early cars throttle bodies. The TPS can be changed out if you can find one, but an be difficult to calibrate after replacing. It sounds like you may have a failed TPS and replacing the throttle body itself it the most common fix, if you could find a rebuilt unit. You should obviously try to verify this first as a Throttle body won't be cheap - Rebuilt or used via ebay are some possible ways to go.

Good luck and let us know how you are making out. There are much smarter folks than me on the forum.
