Problems
THANKS FOR THE REPLYS! I had another question I was reading on other forums how affective do you think cleaning the MAF is I was reading on another forum and the pretty much described my symptoms to what extent Im not sure but basiclly " hesitation, misfire(lean) and reduced power" ! Now Im not going to lie I dont believe I have lost power.
but I also keep in mind that it has been a year scince I drove the car last and maybe I dont relize it because I have been drivung my truck which tops out at 95 mph (lol) I was told that the oil based filters arent very healthy for the MAF I can believe it but am un clear if it can do that much damage ! ? thanks Mark
P.S. I do have a darian intake and a K&N filter
I found one of the main problems i took my car to one of my friends shop ! at first there was misfire and other codes leading to the egt! after i took him on a test drive, the car acted the way i wanted him to see and he told me I had a boost leak so we took the car back and did a boost leak test and found I had a really nice leak undeneath the TBB ! so I was very happy knowing that I had orderd one this weeK !!!
My friend told me that until i change the TBB we wont be able to Vag com it that way we get a proper reading !
Well I put on the TBB with little to no problems BUT!!!!!!!!!, It ran fine for about 6 min It sounded healthy and no hesitation !!!! Then I got very little hesitation and flashing CEL and then it goes away! The CEL will only come on if Im hard on it and the turbo makes (what seems to me ) straining noises !
So until I check the codes with my friends VAG-COM tomorrow I am Stuck not be able to sleep due to the fact that this will be on my mind !!!! WOW I really must love this car ! I DO , I remeber the days when all was nice and if I wanted to Smoke a G35 here and there I could and now even School buses laugh at me because Im too scared to step on it to make the problem worse ! I will have the last laugh, little does my wife know the credit card is rapidly going up fast !!!! LOL [:-]
