What have you done to your P5 today?

[ScratchNSniff]

Black Ceramic Steedspeed Manifold...EGR Pipe, all new gaskets just picked up...

 

[HKPRO5]

Cleaned MAF, cleaned o2 sensors, checked for leaks, still lean at idle.... WTF.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Dang...rough...

 

[aMaff]

[HKPRO5]

No cel. Tune works fine.

 

[ucMP3]

What's your a/f @ idle?

 

[mx-p5]

how lean is it? how about off idle and everywhere else?

 

[HKPRO5]

Everywhere else is fine. Idle is a little different but not crazy. AFRs are 17-18 at idle. With no cel.

 

[ucMP3]

Have you had a smoke test (or some other vac test) done?

 

[HKPRO5]

No not yet. I took all the pipes off and sealed them with hairspray. So pretty much all thats left is the manifold area to check. Ill google how to do a smoke test.

[fishdonotbounce]

Installed a little safety feature today

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Something every fs should carry at all times!

 

[boostedprotege]

[fishdonotbounce]

Or a miata slammed low enough to crack an oil pan, cause a spark and set the entire car on fire.
