• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Throwing codes

Thanks, well, I guess I'm going to pull and RE gap the plugs to see if it helps. That's really the only thing I changed. I installed new wires as well.
 


Found this plug,

And this plug,

My feeling is, that this stuff wasn't needed after all the turbo stuff was added, but I'll need you experts to tell me...........

Pretty sure that first pic is the O2 sensor harness.

Second pic looks like the evap harness.
 
That O2 sensor being unplugged can cause LOTS of issues. I would get that hooked up and go from there .
 


both it seems, lol its name is Halfassery lol he bought the car like this, been working out the bugs from the last owner.
 
ive seen pics of his o2 thats not plugged in, for the life of me i cant figure out what o2 it is thats unplugged. and its turbo, so things are set up differently like placement of the o2 would have to move right?
 


I re gapped the plugs to .045 and it seemed to help the way it runs at idle, but, I still have misfires, mostly on cylinder 2.

I swapped coil packs to see if it moved and it did not. One thin i noticed is som green corrosion on the coil pack prongs. I tried wiping it off before I reinstalled them, but, I think I'm going to take them off again and clean them better.

try some fine sand paper. clean the icm too. where the coils sit.
 
The only two codes I would be concerned with are the last two, I'd clear the codes and make sure that your Primary(Bank 1) O2 sensor in the upper downpipe behind the turbo is plugged in securely.
I'd clean up your coil teminals and get rid of the zzp wires also.
Does this car have an aftermarket cam installed Traildog? If so it could be responsible for the P0300 missfire code
My L67 runs and idles perfectly with the AL 103's gapped at .035, I ran AL 104's gapped at .035 before the cam and other mods previously and it ran and idled great then aswell...but hey every car is a little differnt
This car ain't halfassed, he just needs some help from folks who know about turbo setups.
 


The o2 sensor in the pic does have a pigtail. here is another o2 sensor in the downpipe plugged in. Do I need 2?

Now you know why my hands hurt.........
 
funny part is all these codes popped up after the tune up he did.

that being said, make sure the plugs aren't cracked. if your socket dont have the foam insert they may have cracked on you.

Couldn't tell you about the cam. Is there a way to tell from the outside? And, you don't like the name "Halfassery?" I thought it fit well.......I'll get her fixed. Then I'll change the name......;')
