Hello gang! I am having a weird problem with one of our LNF's

At first the car would not boost except on 4th or 5th gear it will give me a little bit of boost (2 to 5psi) but if you would turn off and then back on, you would have full boost for a few moments before going back to the same. I went to the shop to diagnose the problem with the code scanner and had the following codes:

P0101
P2187
P0017

I decided to erase all the codes to see witch one would pop up first but when I erased the codes to turn the car back on again, the car turns on only to find that the car turn back off. I tried the gas pedal and the car miss fires a lot, like it has too much fuel and once I let go, the car dies. I also tried turning the car on for a few times to see if the codes come back but no code comes back after several starts.

 

Lets start with this. What mods are on the car?

 

I only have a downpipe and intercooler, these have been installed for 1 year

 

0017 is the cam positioning sensor here is the fix....... get cylinder 4 in TDC and then put the cam positioning sensor out and look on the outside edge of it there is a little line/bump on it. you have to line up the two lines up to reset it

2187 and 0101 is the MAF

 

I forgot to mention something very important. Before erasing the codes, 2 days before, my intercooler broke and I had install a pipe to bypass the intercooler while the shop fixes the intercooler. When I erased the codes the bypass was already installed and the car was running with the same problem above, note that I never went full throttle while this bypass was installed and was only used to be able to move the car to the shop

 

Thank you for this info! I reported this to the shop and we will be doing this today. By the way is there a reason for this to happen? do you know if this is a common problem for the LNF or if this is due to something else going worng?

thank you in advance for hearing me out

 

to be honest man i have fully bolted my car and swapped the intake back and forth and never had the cam code come up. MAF sure but not the 0017

 

any chance you can supply the MAF sensor part number?

 

Sounds like you dont need a need MAF sensor. The boost leak caused by your IC likely caused the MAF codes.
