i just ordered a tool to measure cam deviation and i just replaced variocam pads and updated the 3 tensioners, so i will provide some data for comparison ( 2001S 170K km )

Suggestion

Those cam values aren’t great, but my engine is at -8.25 and -6.25 (I’ll be replacing the pads soon) and has no check engine lights and should pass smog.

Does the engine run better when the MAF is disconnected?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • 986Forum: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

PS with engine running, I did spray carb cleaner around the whole engine, intake boot's,Injector's, base of intake tube's or runners Etc NO change in Idle.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello,..Like so many of us, I got the usual emission codes,..1128,1130,1137..also got the 4460 code my MAF number's at idle and full temp of 180,..is MAF=bouncing between 10-11 kg/h MAF sensor = 1.23 . I dont understand these number's, are they close to spec. ? my Ign timing said 2.3 MS and my cam deviation is bad at bank 1 = 9.28 2. = 4.19..was hoping to get thru emissions not sure thats possible with my Cam deviation Number's...is it ? PS with engine running, I did spray carb cleaner around the whole engine, intake boot's,Injector's, base of intake tube's or runners Etc NO change in Idle. Thank's Frank

POST 2Original post

Does the engine run better when the MAF is disconnected? If so you could have a failing MAF. It sounds like you should chase down an intake leak, though. I recommend that you pick up a smoke machine (or DIY it), smoke the intake, and see where the smoke is escaping. Those cam values aren’t great, but my engine is at -8.25 and -6.25 (I’ll be replacing the pads soon) and has no check engine lights and should pass smog.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank's 986lp,The car runs great, But after about a Hr of driving that light comes on,.I will get a smoker,I had a home made one,Maybe it was not strong enough to push the smoke thru the system Bc I didnt see any smoke anywhere. Thank's Frank

Thanks Iceman,..I appreciate that,..Frank

POST 6Original post

TOPDON 500 was a toal bust it got here , i measured it , data showed from 2 cam sensors but was totally non interpretable data. Back to square one for me, guess i have to find someone with durometric or a foxwell and compare data.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ahh Bummer,..Thank's for the effort !!...Frank

POST 8Original post

I have TOPDON 600 on the way .. never give up hope lol..
