Well it isn't fixed.....yet.
New Bosch plugs
New Bosch Oxygen Sensor
New Samco Turbo Hoses
Cleaned the ISV
Still bucks in any gear under hard acceleration between 35oo - 4200
rpm, if I accelerate "slowly" it doesn't buck. The factory Boost gauge
is reading normally. Previous fault codes were 2413 rich mixture and
then 2231 ISV.
Now I get 2224, Over boost condition.
When it first started I had just replaced my turbo hoses with the
Samcos, and have always felt this was just a coincidence. is it?
After it started I replaced the spark plugs and the symptoms went away
immediately, but returned one week later. I cleaned the ISV and the
plugs and it seemed better...NOT, it was back the next day. Last night
I replaced the oxygen sensor and it seemed better but the symptoms
returned this afternoon. Just for the heck of it I cleaned the plugs
and retorqued them, but it didn't help.
Was the improvement after replacing the plugs a fluke? Should the plugs
be black except for where the spark arcs between the electrodes?
Right now I think it's running rich, but am unsure why.
Do I have a PSO failing?
HELP!!!
Thanks
Chris
