Alright guys, need some help from the gurus!!!!
I will list my mods below, but basically this week I was driving my car to work and then all the sudden I got a check engine light. I pulled the code and it came back as a P2177 and a P2187. So I got on here and on m247 trying to find answers, and I found a few answers, but really no solution as to what the hell is going on. From what I gathered, it can be an vacuum leak, a leak somewhere in the intake, fuel pump, front 02 sensor, MAF, among a few other things. Now, for the record, I put on a new boost T when I got my NGR type-s installed, and I came outside after a day or 2 and noticed that it had snapped in half. So i put my old boost T back on, which was too small and the hoses fit loosely. So I stuck it on temporarily, and then used electrical tape to hold it on real good. Car has been running fine for a few weeks, no issues, no nothing. I put on my CX front mount intercooler the first of August (same day I installed my NGR type s and new boost T) and car has been running great, NO problems whatsoever, pulls strong, great gas mileage, no codes, no stuttering, no hesitation, NOTHING. So before I left work Monday, I popped the hood tweaked around with everything, tightened all my clamps and hoses, reset the code and drove er home. So I get home and code is on again. This time, I went to advanced, got a new boost T, some zip ties, and a plastic pcv valve (the car had an injen intake on the car when I first bought it, and he rigged something up because I no longer have the fitting where the tube goes from the cobb short ram intake to the valve cover, so I made a new fitting). I noticed my vacuum was only showing 15 on my mechanical autometer boost gauge, so I figured this was the culprit (in reference to the loose boost T with electrical tape). I checked where the tape was holding the boost T on, and sure enough it was all loose and basically just fell apart. So I replaced all the connections, zip tied everything up, fired her up and vacuum was perfect again (19-20ish, 21ish while cruising and foot off the gas). Reset the code and went to bed.
So i drive to work yesterday, all is fine, no codes, etc. I leave work to head to the gym and boom engine light comes on. This time it is showing a 2177 and a 2195. WTF!? The 2195 says something about the front 02 sensor. So i check under the hood, and the little hose that goes from the nipple on the turbo inlet ( i have a medieval inlet) to the motor was loose on that little plastic fragile piece, it looked like it was hanging off. So i slid it back down and secured it, and thought this was the culprit. Drove the car home, it did fine. Woke up this morning, drove the car to work, and boom...engine light on again. This time, 2177 and 2187. Why the hell am I getting a different code each time on the 2nd one? This car is so damn finicky it drives me nuts. And here is the part that has me STUMPED. When I researched people getting these codes, almost everyone were having stuttering problems, horrible idle, hesitation, etc. The only REMOTE problem I have is it seems like the car is idling a HAIR low and I feel slight vibration (I am guessing from the motor mount). Oh, and my gas mileage has went ALL to s***. I was averaging around 27.2 to 27.3 per the trip meter in the car, and now after 3 days, its dropped all the way to 26.8 and I haven't got s*** for gas. I've only put 58 miles on it and I am already at 3/4 of a tank left when I am usually at around 100 miles at 3/4s.
I am at a loss for words and I can't find s*** wrong. I bought my car used from a dealership, and they provided all the previous maintenance records, and the guy had 4 TSB's done (with one appearing to be the fuel pump fix as I have a 2007). I bought the car with 5,995 miles on it, and I am now at around 41k miles on it.
-CX FMIC
-Cobb SRI
-Medieval turbo inlet
-ngr type s- recirc bpv
-oem turbo
-1 step colder plugs
-turbo xs dp/rp with HFC
-racing beat catback
-cobb stage 2 v1.07 93 octane
-bigdaddiesgarage rear 02 sensor defouler
Can anyone please help? I am really tight on money right now because I am closing on my first house 2 weeks from tomorrow, and I am getting married in less than 3 months, so I can't just go around buying new fuel pumps and 02 sensors and such just trying to figure out the culprit. I need to try to find the exact cause before I purchase anything. This is putting me in such a bind and is driving me nuts.
I appreciate any help, guys!
