Issues with my car VIDEO CLIP INSIDE, Please Help!!! Experts, Anyone.

[Perry V]

Hey guys, I'm still in the middle of my turbo install, however, i'm having some issues with my car right now and I wanna clear them up before I drop in the turbo. Everything for the turbo has been installed (y pipe and all), the FMU has been disconnected for now until these problems are solved.

Here goes, I went and had my car scanned this past weekend as my car has been running like garbage. Here's the codes the Scan threw back at me: 0140,1641,0137,1663.

Now some info about the codes i'm throwin. I have no cat, and therefore put a o2 sim to replace that O2.

That second O2 I thought was a problem cause the muffler shop welded that O2 directly with the bung into my new y pipe, so i thought that damaged it. Anyways, I replaced that O2 with the other one i took out for the o2 sim. Seems to be running a bit better, but still not perfect.

Third, I had a spark plug problem when it got scanned. That problem has been resolved, therefore, disregard that code.

So i've put together a video clip that i took with my pda for you guys to see and hear what is going on. A few things to note..... My y pipe where the exhaust comes up to feed into the turbo has a ghetto metal sheild to deflect exhaust downward, this let me drive my car back and forth wherever i needed to go.

Does this sound like a vacuum leak to u? Or do u think it's still O2 sensor related? The idle is pretty rough, sounds like i have a cam in there, plus it shakes my car quite a bit, a lot more that my previous idle.

Here's the link, please only download it if you think you really can help cause i don't want to max out my friends account, thanks.

Wow, your car's fuked up. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

P0140/P0137 - You said you changed the oxygen sensor before the cat, right? Did you clear the codes after you changed it, or before? Have either of these codes come back?

P1641/P1663 - I think these 2 are related. They use the same wire from the fuse block to the instrument panel. How is fuse 9 (GAUGES) on the in-car fuse block? I don't think that's it, but worth checking. The service manual makes it sound like there's a problem with the wiring to the instrument panel

No there's no cam. I thin i solved my vacuum leak. It must be an O2 sensor or the EGR....something along those lines. I hope anyways.
