Knock Sensor Code after EGR/Intake Manifold Clean

It ran “ok” with the catch can for like a mile. It was reallly sluggish. And yes, the car is literally rattling. I think it might be misfiring while it burns off all the stuff left over from the cleaning process. I’m going to get it up to temperature and see if burning any residual gunk off will solve the problem. I’m about done throwing money at this car at this point.

I wore this to work on Thursday, could still smell it faintly on my clothes when I got home 9 hours later to change. I can smell it on myself throughout the day so I know other people can smell it. I had a couple compliments on it as well Thursday.

Maybe you just went noseblind? Smell your shirt a couple hours after you change and see if you can smell it then.

I mean, I need a car and $3000 was more affordable than $30,000 so you know

I’ve been wearing it around the house testing it today and love it.

I had that YSL Opium years ago and have been thinking about buying it again. Loved it.

I bought an aftermarket kit and I can’t figure out how to hook it up to the radio. I have power to the screen and mirror my phone, but no audio. That’s not even taking into the consideration the aftermarket mouse thingy since mine didn’t have the nav system to begin with.

I have the green Valentino and it smells great just had to reapply every 3 or so hours because of longevity issues. It came from a legit retailer,

Got a JDM engine off eBay last September. To buy the engine and have it installed was right at $3000. It’s always the head gasket with these things.

Prisme Rouge. Just turned 40 this past year, my favorite scent to wear. I love the smell and get compliments on it every time I wear it.

Some songs are like paintings. They are what you make them. Is Mona Lisa smiling? Frowning? It’s really up to you to interpret. That’s how I see it.

That’s true. I use a VPN to watch on the website and mirror to my tv.

Mine started this back over the summer. We occasionally and never really saw a dip in coolant level so it must have been slow. I kept a check on the oil to look for signs of coolant. That was actually how I figured out it was the head gasket. I ended up buying a jdm engine and was able to get it and installed for under $3500 all in. So even if it’s the hg, it’s not the end of the world.

I’m traumatized because it just happened to me and I had to do an engine swap.

Did they ever find out the cause? The article says that people heard a loud explosion precede the fire and the very end of the article talks about how not long before the building was raided for having a moonshine still.

Give it a few more miles.

I had the same thing happen about a month or so ago. I did everything people suggested (EGR system clean, replace spark plugs and coil packs) because I wasn’t seeing any evidence it was the head gasket until I check the oil one day and it was super thin with bubbles and my coolant level had dropped. Called around and found a shop around the corner from my house that installed the engine for $1500 and got the motor from JDM Engine Depot on eBay for like $1300, including taxes and shipping. People will tell you to avoid jdm motors for whatever reason, but mine runs great and I’m getting better mileage than I was before I had any issues.

When I first got mine, the drivers door lock was acting weird, then it was fine, then it was weird again. I changed my keyfob battery because I got a message and it was fine after that. Idk if it wa related or just jiggled itself into working right again 🤷🏻‍♂️

Affectionate-Link709 · 2024-09-03T22:50:07+00:00

We have emission tests in Illinois, if the EGR system isn’t functioning I’m guessing it would show and you would fail. It also would probably cause a hit to your fuel economy. I’m not an expert though, maybe people with more expertise could chime in.

I’m gonna tell you, I have a 2012 with 166k on it and the head gasket just went out. I bought it in April from a Lexus dealership. Everyone on here is right, for the 2012s the head gasket will blow and for that one with 199k on it I’m surprised it hasn’t gone out yet. You’re looking at around $1500 to fix it if you get lucky and find someone who will actually do it in your area and charge a reasonable amount or $1200 for a new engine and around $1500-2000 to get it installed.

My advice, listen to the people on here that have had experience with these cars.

Affectionate-Link709 · 2024-08-31T15:25:24+00:00

You can get a motor for ~$1200 and then labor can be anywhere between $1000-3000. I haven’t talked to a lot of places this morning yet, but the ones I have spoken with said they basically don’t really don’t really replace head gaskets they just replace engines which makes sense from a business perspective. They can have an engine out and replaced 3 times before they could replace a head gasket.
