All,
My 95 SC 5 Speed is running good, with a little pinging near the top (3800 rpm +) & a little flat. Max boost is about 12~13 PSI. I recently replaced the plugs, wires & cam sensor and resealed the upper IC tube. I then tried the 15 PSI air hose trick from my compressor to the gauge inlet & soaped up the intake, IC tubes, etc. I found that a small red (hard plastic) line was leaking a little at the plastic manifold mounted on the firewall. I zip-tied the hose & it seems to not be leaking now.
Today I'm driving the car & pull up at home only to look down & see the CEL on (which I have not seen since the Cam Pos Sensor).
I scanned it & got code 185. To me it seems that the persistent pinging & flat mid/upper range might be due to a lean condition. I'm now thinking that the MAF might have been bad or going bad.
Any ideas?
Thanks for taking a look!
