What have you done to your P5 today?

[Breeegz]

yea my car has been having the rough idle that is cause by the egr valve. but it hasnt been that bad. what does a misfire feel like? i also wonder if the o2 sensor needs to be cleaned or the nonfoulers arent working right for my header nemore. i'll take it in tomorrow to have it read, it's free right? i am gonna hit the sack, gettin up at 8 to take it to advanced

You might want to inspect your O2 Sensor wires as well, my non-foulers made mine pretty tight and one of my zip-ties broke. After a little insulation melting... BAM!-CEL

yea it was the 02 sensor.... it said

DTC (Codes)
P0140
O2 Sensor CKT No Activity
(Bank 1 Sensor 2)

DTC Pending (Codes)
No Faults Detected

so is the sensor screwed and i need a new one? the CEL didnt pop back on on the way home, so i am guessing it will take another 100 or so miles for it to come back on

 

[amsgator]

insulation isnt melted. so i am gonna clean it. what do you use to clean o2 sensors?

 

[Breeegz]

soap?


lol

 

[amsgator]

uh...dont think so. not gonna use soap on somethin this expensive

MAF cleaner? I mean, if its sensitive enough for the MAF then it should be good for an O2 sensor, right?

I agree, very slow. There are only a couple new posts each time I get back from work or whatever.

I have been having too much fun with my new car a 1998 bmw m3 convertible. The p5 is staying but its being transformed into the DD so no more mods or anything sorta a waste at this point.

idk i read not to use a chemical to clean it, so i was like, wth do you use then?!?! o hope i dont need a completely new sensor...it's the 2nd one so i may just leave it or plug it if i need a new one. the CEL hasnt come back on but i've only driven like 25 miles since i had it erased. so we'll see
