hey fellas, somebody mentioned OBD Code Readers? I believe that code readers are a basic "must have" tool that every car owner should have

I have some for a really, really good price and i can ship it through Canada Post, it's coming from me in BC and it should get there pretty quick.

Please check my thread:

Sounds like your car doesn't like the cold.... Those codes i think are general problem with afr (air/fuel ratio). Does anyone know how low the maf for tibs can handle? I live in texas so i never thought about it before but im guessing that might be the problem.... If not the maf then it could be one or more of several problems (evap, fpr, injector pulse length, etc.)

 

First of all, get your CEL checked.

Next, let your car warm up before you drive it...make sure the water temp gauge is in the normal operating temp zone (right in the middle, halfway up). Does this only happen when the engine is still cold, or even when its warm?

 

Hey zoned i did get the codes checked, read two posts 3 posts up lol, anyways i was thinking this morning when i woke up that maybe its been all messed up when its been freakishly cold out because the air is so much denser and thicker...i don't know just a thought lol

 

BUMP... and for those that dont want to read the entire thread i have the CEL codes P1128 and P1123, i did nottice this week that i can smell burning on the inside of the car...and the being held back feeling has gone away now that the weather is alot warmer.

 

it's definitely a leak in your exhaust. when i got my maintec gt headers on it was bending against the stock radiator fans and fumes would go in the cabin when off the throttle. exhaust manifold might have a crack in it or the exhaust flanges are not secured enough. it's definitely your exhaust flanges at the downpipe. you probably hit something and it loosened.

P1128 say its MAP Sensor is getting a reading lower than normal. a. crack, leak in exhaust b. O2 sensor is busted. MAP sensor could be busted.

P1123 is TPS, throttle is not fully closed. It has to do with the pedal cable. If all fails, new TPS should do the job.

Don't try to fix these things yourself, get it fixed somewhere with a warranty.

 

Alright thanks alot man
