So...
A few weeks ago I had an issue with my idle going up and down and my muffler will make little pops very minor
When I down shifted it make little medium pops which I liked..
I ran 2 full tanks of gas with fuel cleaner and after everything got fixed and it wont do those small pops anymore when I downshifted..
NOW... the codes came up and the cars back how it used to be the idle going up and down... I don't mind the downshift popping kind of like it now :]
Is my car possessed?
mines doing the same thing check engine light comes on and off rough idle the car sounds cammed I think it’s a vacuum leak I just haven’t gotten it fixed
Popping means unburned fuel combusting in the exhaust system somewhere. Makes sense if your A/F sensors crapped out, see if your OBD2 scanner has a real-time graphing option and watch the sensor 1 bank 2 data to make sure it's cycling properly (watch a youtube video if you're not sure what an O2 sensor data should look like).
If you do have to replace the sensor, which is likely, I strongly recommend you do both banks at the same time. Yeah it's a little spendy, they're probably both on the way out though and an O2 sensor only sends accurate readings for about 100k before they go through their death cycle which can last ANOTHER 100k sometimes, during which they send slightly incorrect data back to the ECU until something finally melts inside and the ECU sees an open/shorted circuit and throws the CEL at you.
So basically both 02 sensors before the art pipes are going bad ?
I'm at about 102,000 miles
My car is riding pretty rough too the aligment was off got that fixed but still feels off... guess time for new shocks?
Drove her to cars and coffee. On the way back I stopped at a FoodLion to grab some brews and sunscreen for a pool day, and ran into this gem. I have never seen a red Nismo GTR... actually I didn't even know they existed. 1 of 6 in the US, and 1 of 3 for 2016. Stupid rare. Dude is a doctor, super nice guy. Motivation for sure.
That's why I pay a guy I hate working on rusty stuff haha.
I think I'm going to have to do exactly that. I usually go to the dealer for work I don't want to do/don't have the tools for, but that would be a very expensive option here. Time to look for an exhaust shop...
Seems like it wasn't long ago a motorcycle was following YOU around....
Ha! I was the camera car this time.
