Heres the thing I just did the works;turbo, injectore,fuel pump,FMIC,intake,safc2. every thing was going fine till about a week ago, i was waiting for my logger and I know that I was running rich then it started to run like crap. It wouldnt start, it ideled real bad and died some times, I wouldnt go when I hit the gas. I got the logger and checked the codes they were P0400=exhaust gas recirculation flow malufunction, P0196=engine oil temperature sencor range/performance, P03FF=I have know clue what this code is. Any way what could it be? I change the plugs. Could it be the EGR valve, Map sensor, ECU? I checked for a vaccum leak there was 1 going from my FPR to my boost controller I replaced that one and there is no leak there any more. and how do I do a leak test?

take it to a local dsm shop or auto-repair place so u can get it fixed dont install stuff on your car if u dont know how to fix problems.

Don't be a dick. This is the problem diagnosis forum, so let's help him try and diagnose things. I don't know if you've noticed or not, but a lot of us here try and fix/solve things without getting reamed by a shop.

~that being said.

Even got you thread references. :cool:
P0400 - EGR flow fault. Did you block off the egr valve.? Possibly it is clogged which can happen on an higher mileage engine. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133947&highlight=CEL+code

P0196 - Strange, my chiltons nor my haynes manual has a reference to this code.? You sure you have the right code down.? I can't even find a reference to it on dsmtuners.

P03FF - All I can find from searching is that hex #'s usually refer to internal electrical problems. Possibly a bad ECU?

[edit] I notice in your mod list that you have a walboro255, but no FPR listed.? If you don't have an FPR you need one, the 255 is overrunning your stock FPR. Problem right there.

Go ahead, be a dick! The guy dicked me out of a set of fog lights! He received my money order for them on just about the same day he posted the thread. Guess that's were my money went..... :( He never sent the lights and has not responded to any of my attempts to contact him in the past few weeks. So go ahead, be a dick cause he certainly likes being one himself. :thumbdown

Exactly.
Not following these rules will get your thread closed. If the thread gets closed I really don't see you getting an answer to your questions other than a method called searching so please keep complaints OUT of this thread.


Fair Warning.
