Hi all,
Stasis did the tune... I believe it's Giac, K04turbo/diverter valve, aftermarket injectors.
Motor died at 103k mi. and mechanic said the valves were bent and the air intake system flooded with oil.
I got it replaced with a BWT (which I believe is what I had) from a dismantler and installed by a family owned well reviewed german mechanic shop repaired w no warranty because it's a pull. ($6k parts/labor.)
Since getting the car back I've had this lean issue throwing fuel trims through the roof on acceleration only. Short trim tends to stay within +2-9 (spec).
Clear the codes and the trims again skyrocket within 30 sec. of driving. Two days later CEL will come on with P2177 System too lean OFF Idle (acceleration).
Troubleshooting so far...
I'm lead to believe it's not a vacuum leak because trims mostly jump on acceleration but you all may know better.
Mechanic said replace the MAF sensor, didn't change a thing.
There were some holes in the exhaust pipe (post-cat) and the mechanic said THAT was it, fixed up... nothing changed.
Now we get into fuel...
Mechanic says "we smoked the system and you don't have a vacuum leak" has to be fuel related.
I kept an eye on my fuel pump which was operating normally at the time and after a while developed a heavy duty cycle around 85% at idle so I replaced it and the fuel filter, didn't fix it.
Mechanic checked the hard-lines and said Fuel Pump Control Module has to be the issue! Replaced the control module. Didn't fix a thing.
At this point I've taken my car back and have promised myself to fix it via DIY or sell the car.
I've heard the MAP sensor can also throw these things off (probably got drenched in oil) but you guys tell me what you think.
I'm about $12k into repairs on this car total and I think I'm going to have to register it non-op soon.
I very much appreciate your help and thanks for reading!
