Sounds like some progress.fontana dan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 12:33 pmReplaced bank 1 downstream o2 sensor and it seems like all the o2s are functioning now. Will report back after the car runs a drive cycle.
Also getting a P0400 "EGR flow incorrect." Is it possible for EGR to affect the a/f mixture of the engine to cause +20% alpha? I wouldn't think so but I'll have to investigate.
Also replaced thermostat so engine is now running at correct operating temp 170F.
Sounds like something to look at. But, for clarity, I was referring to the piccolo tube that is INSIDE the upper plenum, between the EGR valve and the actual intake runners. Unless you have taken that out and cleaned the crap (literally) out of it I can almost guarantee you that it not only looks nasty, but is a plug big time.fontana dan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 8:40 pmI did not clean the tube between the EGR valve and exhaust manifold. It is another possibility. The engine does not stall when i lift the valve manually but it flowed acetone on the bench...
+1. I don't know enough about old Q's to say whether the clog is most likely on the inlet or outlet side of the EGR Valve, but if it doesn't stumble with manual activation, one or the other is definitely clogged.3Q Jay wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 11:00 amSounds like something to look at.
