  1. Haha, yea the only issue is I refuse to pull the engine in a driveway and that's all I got right now, no garage unfortunately. I ordered a throttle body, and I'm hoping that is the issue, if not I will continue with leak down and compression test, which would also probably be a lot easier with the engine pulled..
  2. Nope made sure of that, disassembled everything again last night and cleaned the throttle body and electronic contacts on the pedal assembly, all while having the battery disconnected for a few hours. That did the trick, now have control of the throttle body again and no tb/pedaal codes. Still reading 16% closed and 78% wot
  3. I disconnected both connectors again and made sure they were clean and locked in when plugged back in and still same issue no control
  4. I actually just heard of it today and was doing the research, seems like it's worth every penny as I'm an android user. Yea on this forum there was another write up about tps, I believe idle is 5%, but wanna get stock specs. Just messing around I pulled the intercooler off and played with the throttle body, manual opening it all the way still only read 81% on ecm, and forcing all the way closed only 11%, it could make sensense if the send or is bad. But now after messing with the throttle body and unplugging it, as well as the petal, I have a constant code for that, that can't be cleared, and pressing the petal doesn't do anything (no throttle body control). Hmmm?
  5. I noticed somthing very interesting from data mapping today on my way to and from work, the absolute tps % never exceeded 78% and also never dropped lower then 14% even at idle. Does anyone know the actual normal? I read other people have issues with tps and getting the same absolute % reading, if that's the case I may have just answered all of my problems.....
  6. Alright ill have to check that as well, maybe i should have done that gauge cluster...Hey well that explains it....lol thank you, there goes 120 bucks... lol
  7. All the work was done myself, the pan was not cleaned, I had no means to drop the front crossmembe to get the pan down as I don't have a lift, hence the reason I "flushed" it like I did, no metal came out of oil, as I ran it through a magnetic strainer to check. Also there was no sign of metal fragments on the plenam side of the intercooler. Odd noise is not constant, only once the power drops off that's why it's leading me to believe it's a backfire, as in getting too much air almost, be a use the more you lay into it, the worse it gets. I had more of an "angry cat" noise when my turbo blew. I can try to get a video clip this afternoon. I do have a leakdown and compression tester so I will do that, I just wanted to make sure I covered all the "easy" bases first. Thanks
  8. I've got a couple questions maybe you guys on the forum can answer because it seems like other people have had similar issues. Little background 2006 lgt currently 173k, turbo blew at 145k due to a clogged banjo bolt. Due to the fact I didn't want further issues, I replaced turbo, intercooler, oil cooler, and ran AN stainless turbo oil feed lines, "flushed" oil 3 times, (3 oil changes within 100 miles). Car ran great for 25k, and now more issues. It started with a loss of power on the top end right around 4k rpms it would just stop pulling, followed by what sounds like a backfire through the intake at this rpm. Shortly after I threw a cyld 2 misfire code, I went through the usual checks, and swapped injectors, code seemed to follow injector. A day or so later I noticed that the rpms at idle dropped way off (500 rpms) and had a terribly rough idle. It always reflashed a check engine light after sitting idle (stopped at a red light, then takin off) for the misfire code, which led me more to believe it was leaking injectors(loading up the cylinder then missing once put under power or increased rpm) I sent the injectors out to get rebuilt because I figured if I had an issue with one the other ones were only a matter of time. I got the injectors back and thought wow I really miss my lgt and can't wait to drive it again, put the injectors in and wala! ....same issue. Back to the drawing board. I figured from a bad injector I fouled the plug, so she got all new oem plugs. Same issue...I also figured if I was dumping raw fuel into exhaust I may have burnt up an o2 sensor. My scan tool was reading 2.8v on the upstream sensor. To my knowledge an o2 sensor shouldn't read more then 1.0v? So I replaced with a bosch o2 sensor. Still have a rough idle and no power on top end. I also noticed the upstream sensor is still reading 2.6v at idle. After replacing pcv valve, plugs, injectors and 02 sensor I cleared code. Drove maybe 5/10th of a mile and instantry threw codes. Except, it threw a misfire code for every cylinder..... while that kind of confused me I cleared codes again and drove around with only the #2 cylinder misfire code coming back. I replaced the #2 cylinder coil and thought that had to be the problem. Still same issue. Due to the fact that it threw a code for every cylinder I thought it has to be somthing that affects all cylinders. Next up was checking fuel pressure, off the regulator fuel pressure seemed fine, maybe a little high but I don't think that would cause this issue, reading 40-41 psi at idle, and 50-57 under load(driving car), diconnected vaccum line to regulator and fuel pressure increased. When I did the turbo at 145k I replaced all intake gaskets. I'm stumped, is there anything else I should be checking before I do a leakdown and compression test? Thanks in advance for any help
  9. I would have to agree with scontivt on that one, I'm talking from experience, after I threw that code I did the same along with an oil change, lasted about 700 miles before I threw the code again and blew the turbo moments later, deff worth checking out unless you plan on doing a turbo, and everything else packed with metal filings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Well I finally found some time to work on the car, got the intake plenum off (what a nightmare) only to find no metal shavings in it thank god, I thought for sure I was going too. With that being said I'm hoping I won't have any engine trouble down the road, still gonna drop the pan and have a look around. Does anyone suggest replacing the oil pump on these things? I'm changing the oil cooler as it is. I also decided that I'm gonna run amsoil 0w-30 seeing as I live in the northeast and have very ranging temperatures, opinions?
  11. Alrighty then another thing to keep in mind, thanks for the help!
  12. Hmm, I may want to look into dropping that oil pan, may be worth it in the long run, and I didn't know about that oil pump, very interesting and I'm deff gonna have to look into it. I've used fram but I'm gonna look into switching too a wix, I believe they are the only metal cartridge filter still out there, it seems every other company went paper, but I will deff look into they're flow rate, Mobil one was the synthetic that I switched too and had the crazy oil consumption, but like I said the seals may have already been on they're way out. I will deffinately pick up a new oil cooler, and I'm gonna cut open the old oil filter just too see if it grabbed anything, thanks for the help! And lingling any chance you have a link to that used oil analysis?
  13. Very helpful thread, seeing as I recently had a turbo failure on my 2006 lgt with 150k. Being a relatively new lgt owner I do have a few questions, my car showed the typical signs of a turbo starting to fail (drinking oil, smoke from the exhaust when laying into it)and finally it started screaming at me one day on my way to work. At that time it also threw the P0011 code. I managed to limp it off the highway (about 4-5 miles total from the time it started screaming) and towed it home. I took the intercooler off to find small metal peices on the turbo side. (Another sign of a blown turbo) I just ordered an oem replacement, and am going to the subaru dealer later in the week to pick up my gaskets. When I purchased the car I went out on a limb and didn't have service records although the carfax showed it was maintained by a dealer. My first oil change I made the switch to synthetic, and that's when I noticed the smoke web laying into it, after talking to a few people and reading a few articles, I assumed it was blowby on the turbo with the newly used synthetic oil, I was drinking oil at roughly 1 qt every 1k miles, after 2-3 oil change periods using synthetic I decided to make the dreaded decision to switch back, although I did switch back to a synthetic blend, and noticed a difference in oil consumption, I'm wondering is that had an effect on a clogging of the oil feed line? As shortly after switching back I threw the P0011 code. I read that it could be dirty oil that could cause this, and had roughly 4k miles on that oil change (using owners maual oil change interval specs)After doing another oil change using the synthetic blend and clearing the code, I went another oil change period before ultimately blowing the turbo, and once again throwing the P0011. I threw the code probably 10 minutes before the turbo started screaming, so my guess is the oil feed line was clogged and that 10 minutes at 80mph on the highway did the turbo in. Like I said the oem replacement is ordered, as well as gaskets. I plan on taking the intake manifold off to clean, as well as the down pipe, as far as the oil feed line goes I plan on making my own as others have using -4an lines with an in line filter. As well as multiple oil changes once everythjng is installed. Now that you have an understanding, does anyone have any preferred methods for cleaning out the intercooler? As I'm sure they're are metal chips somewhere in it? (None shown on the intake side), and also the great heated debate of what oil to use, synthetic or non? I'm not sure if I was drinking oil with the synthetic due to the fact that the turbo was already on it's way out? Has anyone had oil consumption problems using synthetic with a new turbo? Also besides changing oil change intervals to every 3k miles are they're any other suggestions to avoid another tubro failure? Any help, comments, questions or concerns would be greatly appreciated.
