My car recently developed symptoms of what i believe to be a fairly severe, though intermittent, vacuum leak.
current codes:
p0135 and p0141 - o2 1&2 heater faults
p1104 wastegate solenoid
Symptoms:
First ~minute of driving is fairly typical, easy transition into/out of boost, fairly normal power, etc. afterwards, car seems to be fairly bipolar. sometimes i can press down on the petal and receive virtually no power, 2-3lbs of boost, and a loud well... fart noise (high exhaust pressure/temp?), but if the manifold can get above about 4lbs, the car seems to run great, good power, normal exhaust note, etc. boost peaks at around 13-15lbs then backs down to around 12. Idle is sporadic, between 1500rpm:20inhg steady and 600rpm:12inhg bouncing, with the lower idle appearing to correspond to "bad" launch.
Known problems:
boost leak test shows leaks:
tb shaft seals
biss screw
#1 fuel injector
iac has 2 dead coils
Now a few questions:
does the o2 heater only assist the sensor reaching temp, or is it necessary to maintain temp (in 12-30 degree(f) weather)?
can incorrect o2 temp lead to bad fuel trim (open loop vs. closed loop problems?)
I'm considering this fiav disable, but I have to pass emissions. I just want to make sure that an FIAV disable won't show any trouble codes (actual emissions don't even matter in my area, just need to pass computer test)
parts:
i already have an iac in the mail.
I'm currently considering this set for my throttle body.
I'm not sure what i need to seal the injectors. only #1 seems to be leaking, but i'm going to do all four since i'm in there (unless i need something absurdly expensive that i'm not seeing) here are some kits... but i'm not really sure which seals are which, and which i'll need/want.
any help is greatly appreciated.
edit: is this considered a valid option?
