What have you done to your P5 today?

[magnumP5]

I got a CEL during the ELEVEN hour drive back to Rochester.. should have been 5 hours 30 minutes ugh snow/slush + summer tires + major, major car accident in MA holding things up.

As for the CEL.. I think the car just didn't like the extreme rain? I'll have to get the code pulled, but won't have time to do that until.. Tuesday evening at the earliest.

The car kept doing this hardcore sputtering if it went past like 4 or 5ish psi in 5th (like if I pushed the "resume" button after getting stuck behind a slow moving vehicle). I don't know if it was fuel cut or a misfire or what is going on. Car was still totally driveable, just kept it out of boost for the rest of the trip back (the CEL came on when I was about an hour from my destination).

Sounds very similar as to what happened to me a while back except I was driving in rain. Let me know what the CEL was for because if its the MAF then something is up.

yeah I was in the rain. I have a break until 2pm right now so if I can find a place that'll read the code I'll go do that (there aren't really any autozones around, does advance auto do it for free?

edit: the CEL is off now, but hopefully it is stored still.. I've never dealt with this CEL stuff

 

[aMaff]

I'm pretty sure they do. Most of those type of places do

Was your code for the MAF? Mine is P0103 MAF Circuit High Input.

Car is totally fine if I stay low (like under.. 4psi ish?) boost.

Hey Kansei, your door trim plates are silver, did you buy these? How come they are not like mine isn't your car a 2003?

My trim is CF, well simulated.

 

[Kansei]

Post a picture of that trim.. because I've never seen it. It was only in canada. The silver door trim is stock on all the MSP/MP3/Protege5s in the states.

[whitemp5seattle]

the cf trim is hot! I wonder where he got those?

 

[khaosman]

Finished up the Microtech wiring... well... 98.9% of it. Still have to wire the fan and ac control. And tidy stuff up. Unfortunately the mechanic that was going to help me tomorrow forgot about some plans so he won't be able to work until Wednesday. That'll make for a frantic finishing up the rest of the install

 

[Shasta]

the cf trim is hot! I wonder where he got those?

It's stock, Canadian models. The car is fully loaded, completely full leather, seats, door panels etc,,,CF trim on the dash bezel (center surround) and all the power window bezels.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

really? so I can order it as an OEM part?

 

[altspace]

Please don't order faux CF, get the real thing from DGM. Your car deserves it.
