[JDM_Pro5]

Yes it is. I call him by his user name on here lol

 

[JDM_Pro5]

oh, gotcha. Lewis is his last name so it works, everyone knows who you are talking about anyways.

I hope you did the seafoam before the oil change...

Yes but this time around I did the brake booster line mode not oil

 

[azuelke]

Yes but this time around I did the brake booster line mode not oil

Most people do 1/3 brake boost, 1/3 oil, and 1/3 gas... just making sure, that could really mess things up if you left it in there.

Did gas tank too. last time I did it, I did do the oil portion before changing the oil

 

[RicoP5]

Gas mileage is sucking big time fml

 

[AzteCypher]

Have you gotten the codes scanned again?

 

[RicoP5]

Nope about to today tho

 

[RicoP5]

Last pic with msp lip and retrofits all sold. New look coming soon

Cleaned a few sensors etc restarted the ecu now down to 3 codes

Po171

Po421

P1512

P0171: Did you change the upstream O2 sensor yet?

P0421: Your primary catalytic converter is most probably finished, that one's not going away any time soon.

P1512: That's an interesting one: "Variable tumble control system (VTCS) shutter valve stuck closed". Try moving the VTCS actuator by hand and see if it falls back to the closed position on it's own. If it does then the VTCS solenoid might be bad, see if the butterflies close on their own when you start the engine.

That last one (P1512) in combination with P0171 might explain whey your car has been running like s*** lately.

 

[RicoP5]

No might buy one now. I have a header so i guess cat on the mid pipe went bad huh ?

Vcts not worried will be getting the mp3 flash soon just the first 2 are my problem and also a frozen driver caliper now too !! Ugh

 

[RicoP5]

Put stock headlights back on and took msp off to ship off. Still can't find a box for it :/

Added the cold intake I got from Evan aka Lewis. Will post pic laters,

Well other then being pissed a lil about my whole front end going bad at the same time and spending 400 or so to fix it also not happy about the codes which I'm tracking down either a bad o2 or cat another problem comes up.

One of my front calipers is pretty much staying closed :/ smdh so anyone has an extra driver side one !? Lmk ASAP
