Car runs very smoothly. Mileage is right around 28 with a mix of city and highway. No compression test done, but no signs of head gasket issues. In fact, i think it was replaced by the dealer shortly before i got the car.
DI Cassette wiring checks out ok, and new vacuum hoses arrived today, will install this week.
Spark plugs are NGK BCPR7ES gapped btw .036 and .040, no changes...though i think .036 is a little too small.
I thought about the FPR...ill have to get a gauge for that. I have some go fast parts on the way...any reason to upgrade to a 3.5 bar? Or does it already have one?
IAC and TB just cleaned last week. No change.
MAP sensor...ill look into this a bit when i swap to the GS open air intake this weekend.
Bogging can happen when warm or cold, though usually when warm, and usually after ive been driving, then sit at a stop light. if i keep the idle at 1200 with my foot, i can usually make it settle out and stop bogging.
I ONLY run premium fuel. I just changed the oil with full synthetic (as always). Car seems to pull hard and is very consistent running at speed.
As for exhaust leaks...its possible. The seal btw my 3" downpipe and 2.5 sport exhaust mid flex pipe isnt the best...so its possible some air could be introduced there, as it does sound like the back fire is coming from under the front floor, rather than the back of the car, or the engine bay. Though its possible thats just where the air is escaping.
Those sensors you mentioned....would any of them throw a CEL? I have none (shy that one you debunked already).
I planned on adding the Forge diverter valve also...could easily throw in a proper FPR at the same time. What are the symptoms of a fuel pump going?
