ok here is a run down of my car

4g63t spyder with 16g turbo, greddy bov, injen intake, front mount, apexi safcII.

now the problems

the guy i got it from took out the fuel pressure solenoid to "clean up" the engine bay so i have a code being thrown for the fuel pressure censor. so do i need to get a new one and reinstall it or am i fine with it off? and the same goes for the waste gate as well but i have come to known that a bov replaces a waste gate correct me if im wrong??

also i have a code for the waste gate censor as well as stated befor

then i have a couple more codes being thrown as well and some are thrown more than once and i believe one or two codes doesn't even come up at auto zone under Mitsubishi

so I'm kinda at a point of not knowing what i should do especially since one of the codes thrown said it could possibly cause ecm failure

any help would be greatly appreciated for i am :banghead:
 
We for starters go back and have them print out the sheet of paper telling you exactly what codes you are throwing....that will help us 10x more other than saying oh this code and that. Second, i dont use my fuel pressure sensor, i have my boost gauge tapped into the line that goes to it.... my line goes from the nipple on the far right of the intake manifold to a T that goes to the boost gauge and my fuel pressure regulator. So my solenoid is not looped into it, but its still plugged in (or else it would throw the code)
Second a bov doesnt replace a wastegate....idk what you really mean by this, they are 2 different things...one is on your turbo controlling the release of air into your exhaust, and the bov relieves excess air in your pipes going into your engine....

So clarify a couple things for us will ya?

+1 It will help tremendously
 
sorry about not posting codes so here is the list and i will include what the print outs say the definition is

p0403 -Exhaust gas recirculation control circuit

p1105 -fuel pressure solenoid

p1104 - turbocharger wastegate solenoid

then i have another but autozone cut of the p code so i only have the definition so i don't know if that will help but here that is

-EVAP system purge control valve circuit

those are four of them another one i got was for an o2 sensor but i already knew why it threw that code so no problem there


oh and another question... if you could only replace 1 or 2 motor mounts at at time what order would you go in. i have already got them priced out and just trying to decide if i want to go with mitsu or autozone or advanced. mitsu wants $273 for the tranny mount alone and all four i can get through advanced for around $160 but i don't know if the poly will work with them or not

also the guy i got it from said he tuned it through a apexi safcII, wich came with the car, to run lean to save on gas. he said he had it even below mitsubishi's standards. any thoughts on that as well?
 
If your going to do your mounts you should just get urethane mounts the kit is like 75$ and you only have to have the engine mount and the tranny mount pressed out and the new ones will push in. The two roll stop mounts are just inserts super essay!!
 
It sounds like whoever u bought the car from just unplugged the sensors...if so plug them back in if they arent there your gonna have to find new ones or just deal with the light. Its ok to have the lines not all attached to these, but to keep from throwing the code you need to keep them plugged in. See i have a MBC so for my boost solenoid i just dont have the 2 vac lines going to it.... but its still plugged in
