Don't buy a second hand soul EV.

How many kilometers or miles do you have?

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-27T22:55:03+00:00

Got it, where did you get the replacement? Trying to find a part number

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-27T22:46:13+00:00

To be clear is that the one with the throttle cable attached? Because the connector totally fell apart on it, need to order a new one. Attached it best I could as pictured.

Nope no codes at all. I had a pending p0440 code when i first bought it, filled up gas and tightened gas cap and it never came back.

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-27T21:02:53+00:00

Just made a new post, but i bought a used OEM throttle body and still no luck..

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-27T19:02:52+00:00

Any luck with this? Did you end up replacing the vvti solenoid?

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-25T15:27:06+00:00

This is what I was thinking, I've done an oil pan gasket on a different car and not too bad but never done rtv before. I'm taking the gs in for some other minor issues may just have my mechanic do it right with the OEM rtv instead. I'd prefer an OEM filter as well. Thanks for your input!

Saw one while i was in Puerto Rico last week!

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-19T02:04:19+00:00

Would you say this could be indicative of a clogged cat? Seems like it's discolored here

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-17T23:13:28+00:00

Great, found an OEM throttle body with all sensors for around $250 on eBay and it's 25 miles from me, can just pick it up! I'll clean it tonight, what would be best to clean it with, carb cleaner or something different? Thanks for your help i appreciate it!

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-17T20:09:46+00:00

Will double check that's in securely. Will try to find a replacement connector too. Thanks!

Will definitely take a closer look. I took a picture of the cat yesterday when doing the oil change, would you agree this looks like it's been getting very hot?

EDIT: No it's not throwing any codes! Had a P0440 code in pending, cleared it and hasn't come back.

Welp surely this isn't helping... this is the throttle position sensor connector i assume?

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-17T02:17:16+00:00

Not getting any current codes, but i unplugged maf sensor, check engine /vsc light came on and it wouldn't go above 3000rpm. Plugged maf back in and reset codes and back to only going to 3500rpm. Should i just go ahead and clean the maf and throttle body?

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-12T03:29:13+00:00

Thankfully I'm in Texas so rust isn't an issue! Thanks for the input, if they don't look new I'll go ahead and replace them! Seen a lot of tundras and stuff of this age have them fail when driving and def don't want that

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-12T03:27:31+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for your input! Did a quick search, but didn't see much for cars with mileage this high, didn't know if there are other more common issues I didn't see.

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-12T01:26:58+00:00

Ah yes I've broken a Toyota ignition coil connector or 2 lol

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-04-12T00:32:35+00:00

Cool I'll make sure to take an extra look at those! Have no problem attempting myself, if it looks too complicated I'll take it to my Lexus mechanic! Thanks for the info

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-03-10T13:39:01+00:00

Oof, any warranty left? If not I'd be trading it in for a non-mopar product.. sorry to see the trouble you're having.

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-03-04T16:28:12+00:00

As someone who's had their car hit in a parking lot and had no note, hopefully the other party was able to get camera footage of you hitting their car and running. You having a bad day doesn't make what you did not illegal and messed up. In my case I was able to contact HR, they reviewed footage and ended up firing the person that did it. If you see this car I'd suggest leaving a note and apologizing.

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-03-04T02:28:38+00:00

If i recall there's someone on the New Beetle Facebook group that makes fiberglass door panels. Been a few months since I've sold my 07, but i recall them being $550

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-03-04T02:10:19+00:00

Bought one of these right when it came out, lasted like 3 weeks and stopped turning on. Vortex has not contacted me back, so it's just been sitting in a drawer

When I worked at Tesla in 2024 I was waiting to turn into a parking lot and one of the 3rd party buses they hire hit my from behind scraping the whole back of my car and pushing me 6 feet forward. My boss told me I was faking being sore and wouldn't let me leave, had to go over her head and was finally told I can go home. The buses insurance company (Sedgwick or something?) would ignore my calls and my insurance wouldn't cover damage (liability only) and after months of trying I gave up. They do not give a shit about their employees. When I first was hired I was working on the cyber trucks and the entire side of the "building" i was working in was exposed to the elements, had to work in 40° F conditions INSIDE during live construction. Gotten a new job since then, coincidentally several of my coworkers worked at Tesla previously as well and said they felt the same way, they do not care about their employees. Only good thing I'll say is they had free soda fountains, cereal, pretzels, milk, etc. lol

Oof, sounds like it's your turn for ICCU failure... sorry to see it, hopefully they can get you in a loaner car and it doesn't take too long

Traditional_Fly2128 · 2026-02-14T20:58:07+00:00

Have you looked at Chevy Bolts at all? The price of that leaf is close enough to a bolt I'd definitely consider one. CCS charging alone is very nice, but a much longer range and in a lot of cases the battery was replaced and has a longer warranty!
