help??

[cec1]

Hi everyone.. I am new to this thread so...

I have an 02 gt 5 spd

I love my car.. but it's becoming a huge headache!! I recently am having issues that IDK if they have anything to do with the other... we'll start simple.. my driver side exhaust pipe blows COLD air... while the passenger side is blowing hot air. .. ANY IDEAS I can try are WELCOME she is hesitating and bucking like crazy.. no power..

I have a p0113 code.. IAT sensor 1 circuit high

p1151 h02 2/1 insufficient switching lean

now Ive replaced BOTH upstream sensors..


I have no mods to this vehicle neither...

PLEASE help...

cold air... even when the car has reached normal operating temp?
i've never heard of this. so someone with more experience will come in here soon,

The exhaust symptom and power loss suggest a blockage in the driver's side of the exhaust system. You may have defective catalytic converters or they've been fouled over time by additives (e.g. MMT).

That P1151 points to the driver's side (B2) so there's another clue.

Re the IAT code: Ensure the MAF connector is properly seated. Erase the codes and see if that one comes back.

Thanks trinity.. ill have to check my cats and see what's happening and let you know after I do.. I reset the ses light.. and came back on.. same code.. could driving with a bad 02 sensor on drivers side clog the cat?? it has been replaced and this is a new issue

Thanks again

And yes johnnyt03gt...
Normal temp.. passenger side hot drivers side cold..

Hmmmmmmmm

Sounds like a bad converter, If they don't smog check where you live you could probably by an off road x or h pipe cheaper than having your cats replaced. I could see how a bad o2 could ruin a cat raw fuel kills them.

Ya we have the emissions check... any ideas on what a decent set of converters I should use are? probably do cat back...Prefer close to stock or little better =) deeper rumble thanks

 

[johnnyt03gt]

do what most of us do... off road x OR h pipe. about $150

saw some new ones on ebay $75 ea. you could just get a catted mid pipe. going to run you anywhere from $200-$600 depends on brand. and if new or used.

i would check craiglist. should find used stock h-pipe cheap. i sold mine for $75

for pennies more you can get a mid pipe with high flow cats (one each side) and have a nice sounding emmissions legal ride. unless your in cali which even stock may fail. lol

Nice thanks ..but the problems go deeper..lol I had to have her towed this morning on my way to work... just NOOOOO power.... come to find out I have a bent valve spring.. drivers side.. which would probably explain a lot.. the tapping.. the loss of power.... ill know more..keep u updated when I know more tomorrow

 

[trinity_gt]

I don't think you mentioned "tapping" as a symptom.

 

[cec1]

Wow.. I'm sorry.. that was the "newest" symptom.. thought I posted that.. but browser must have froze :o/...hmmm

 

[Night Shifter]

mine has the weird cold tail pipe symptom...if i drive it to or from work which is about 25 miles i can get out of the car and touch both tailpipes and they wont be anywhere near hot lol. they'll be blowing tons of exhaust out but never get hot....i have no cats either....not trying to hijack but just figured id share

 

[cec1]

Well...my cats were clogged.... :o/ new h pipes.. everything is great now..oh and 2 injectors were faulty.the bent valve was yet another WRONG diagnoses.....thanks everyone

 

[trinity_gt]

The tapping sound may have been an exhaust leak on the driver's side at the ball-connection where the midpipe joins the manifold. If the cats were clogged as badly as it sounds, the pressure ahead of them must have been pretty substantial. The sound may have been the pressure escaping through a leak.

Glad the problem is solved. FWIW, how were the injectors diagnosed as being faulty?
