why its called a soft code...

 

2 codes come up finally bank 1 lean, bank 2 lean. any ideas

 

Air in the fuel lines could make it run lean.
Clear the codes, pull the meg terminal on the battery.
I don't know if ecms on p-cars "learn" but just for giggles let's erase its brain and see what happens

 

on the way to work it was doing the same thing again. i was at about half a tank so i stop at the gas station to fill it up and then i get to the work parking lot and the car just dies out. i made it to a spot and parked it.

now i went out there about an hour and a half later to start it to go somewhere and it just starts idles for 5-10 sec and then dies. WTF

 

Didn't folks have this issue earlier and it was an Evap Can or the like ?

 

no one has addressed this yet to me

 

well it starts and just dies out. i called my local porsche mechanic and he said he has had 4 porsches in the shop in the past week and a half. they all have the same problem, water in the gas.

 

well, i smell a lawsuit then. sue their asses off for watering down your fuel. also, for future reference, the same problem can also be caused by a bad air intake sensor.

 

Tried getting my car towed to the mechanic and since its crazy in chicago with this snow, it took 2 days to get a tow truck here.

 

let us know if youre a victim of a discount chain gas issue!!

 

it was from citgo

 

so i talked to the mechanic and he said there might be something wrong with the throttle body sensor....???? does this make any sense at all?

wouldnt u think it would be a fuel pump or MAF???

 

any updates on the final issue..........I just started have shuddering and improper idle at all speeds and CEL light in on way to work........trying to trouble shot before I go to get it OBD II tested.....

Coils, plugs, or fuel pump is what I am assuming, will be adding throttle body to the equation as well...

 

Cordsig79 - Get the OBD-II codes read (Autozone will do it for free..) and see what the truck thinks is wrong. Anything else is guesswork.

 

Ha, Lupus en fabula, speak of the devil! I just got off the phone with them and I am headed that way.....to be continued...
