SOO MADD, Why does my car have soo many problems!!
SOO MADD, Why does my car have soo many problems!!
Im sorry but i need to rant and steam, cuz my car is retarded.
On Saturday, i was in my driveway to start my car, and after starting realized that the slip light, ses light, and the set light are all on. So i say to myself no biggie, must be something minor because i just got my car tuned with my hks boost controller, nothing horrible can happen. So here i am in my car and i notice that after i let the car run a bit, the idle is at litterally 100rpms and occasionally bouncing itself to 500rpms so that it wont stall. So i decide to go around my block to check if things are okay with my car. But what do you know, there is no throttle response, and the rpms wont go past 1.2k rpms. So i try starting the car again, this time only the slip light, and the ses light shows, but now i get throttle response. So i go around my block see that things are ok and let it idle in my driveway. 5 seconds later, my car turns off. By now im going crazy, so i start my car and barely find my way to the infiniti dealership. They give me a loaner for two days, i come back and my car wont start. After 40 minutes they finally come out with my car running and they tell me that the car somehow allowed itself to start, but tells me that there were the codes p0605, p2138, and p1564, which have something to do with the ecu. They tell me they cant fix the problem cuz i have a turbo and whatnot and they tell me that basically im on my own. I make it safely home and prepare myself to take it to GTM the next day.
So the next day(today), i am driving and decide to go to a Mexican Restaurant before i make my 2 hour drive to Rancho Cucamonga when my car just stalls while im going 35 on a local street. I thankfully get it to a complete stop, start it up once more and barely make my way to the mexican restaurant where my G finally died. The car would not start out of literally 100 tries.
Currently as i speak my car is being towed to GTM. I am thinking that there was something after the installation of my HKS.
Lesson learned? = You take the toll when you put more mods on your car.

yeah. the more you mess with aftermarket, the more problems you have... i learned that the hard way when i installed an h22 into my 4 door accord, and manual tranny swap... one problem after another.... no dice... im sorry to hear about your problems, hope you get it resolved.
yeah, there are too many electrical issues with these cars, too many sensors.
its hard to have a car you NEED to drive everyday and put a turbo on it and expect it to run perfectly all the time.
sorry about your troubles. hopefully they will figure it out here soon
good luck

This is nothing new
You mod the car you expect the Mechs at the dealership to fix it? I know some dealerships will fix a modded car but that's the chance you take. it's also the chance the dealer takes because he doesn't know who did what to your car.
The other lesson here is if this is your main mode of transportation why mess with it?
It breaks then you are out on your *** for a couple of days. (Costing you more money) Unless you have tons of cash to burn to fix it but if you had that extra cash you would find a much better use for it.
This lesson is not learned at all but rather people gamble all the time on the outcome. Same people who try and buy these modded cars and wonder if they are getting a good deal. You are buying someones headache or maybe a money sink.
It's your hard earned money even if you are financing it.
