What mods do you have? Naturally our cars runs slightly rich and seem to produce good amount of carbon if modded in some vehicles. Our ecu's will adapt to engine conditions but weird that it makes it run rich. Figured it throw it in limp mode. I'd go ahead and work off those sensors then see if its better. Have u always had the problem?

i dont recall i got the car on a friday night sat morning i removed the cats lol....so im not really sure...but i dont think its the cats becasue i see that they sell test pips for these cars which are prety much like what i did i removed the cats and put straight pipe. so i dont knwo, and thats what i would assume that the car would adapt, im going to get the sensors and see if that helps i just wanted to see if those sensors is whats causing it. im a total newb to these cars so that doesnt help lol

you are going to see a little more of the black carbon in the exhaust then without any cats on. i see this on my car even with high flow cats on. it might actually have more to do with that then the sensors at all. however if throwing the cam sensors and crank sensor code definately get those worked on as well
