Hey all, heres the scoop, post might be a little long so I apologize for that now. Last Friday, not yesterday, I drove my car to the store. It ran completely fine. I was in the store for a little while, long enough for the car to cool down. I then drove to a restaurant that was a short distance from the store. After eating my lunch, I turned on my car to go home. A little ways in to the drive, after my car is warmed up, I noticed something is a little off with the afr gauge. It starts to read super lean, my car loses throttle response and it stalls out. I pull over to try and start my car and it starts up fine but after 2 second it stumbles and dies. I had to get it towed home.
So I thought it was maybe a bad cam angle sensor. I put a new one in on Monday and after installation I go on a test drive. Car started right up and it drive like normal, even building boost no problem. Then after about 10 minutes of driving, the afr goes lean and I lose throttle response again. This time I try to give it some gas, and the car accelerates, but then cuts and eventually ends up dieing again. This time I pulled it into a parking lot and had it cool for a little . The car started up fine again and I drove it down the street a bit for it to ultimately do the same thing its been doing.
So now I'm at a stand still and I don't want to throw parts at it until I have a better understanding of whats going on. The car has a transistor thats 1 year old, ngk wires that are 1 year old, spark plugs maybe have 2k miles on them (br7es) and a new cam angle sensor. Im leaning towards a bad coil pack at this point. I bought it used about 3 years ago. Any one else have any ideas on what it can be ?
