Erm. I will try and do it with dots.

Hi all

Completed another track day today and the suspension setup does need a little tweaking but has made a huge difference in the performance.

I can exit corners amd enter them quicker than before the coilover and arbs went on.

Anyway, got about 3 hours of track time and my EML and ESP light came on after I went back to the car after needing a wee.

Scanned and got the following

EVAP purge valve n80 short to ground P1245
Exhaust Gas Temp G235 open or short to plus P1453
Mass Air Flow Sensor weak or low signal P0121
02 Sensor bank 1 sensor malfunction in circuit either P0131 or P0137

I am guessing AFM is knackeree hence the ESP lighy being on.

Any thoughts?

Mate that sucks.
I have a track day booked next month. Hope I don't have a similar experience.
Tell us what you find.

Hi

I am going to replace MAF, EGT and N80 when I have funds. Got married at weekend so have no spare money.

I used to have to clean the MAF in my old car but will just replace. Wonder how much EOM is.

Unlikely to have 3/4 sensor go at once start by checking fuses and earths.
Don’t need the EVAP just remove the whole lot out the bay and vent to atmosphere

Hi all

Not posted for a while.

Anyway got my car sorted. My EGT sensor cable was not clipped up when we changed the down pipe and it fell onto the exhaust manifold and melted together.

AFM was faulty so swapped and now working great.

Next trackday booked for Oulton in July for the Public sessions at Time Attack.

So before then I want to do

1. Get my oil cooler plumbed in
2. Get better seats and harnesses
3. Poss 1/2 cage or full
4. Rods, rocker gaskett
5. Rear tyres

Glad you sorted that out.
I’m also looking into oil cooler and better seats.
What temp was your oil on track?
I was hitting 118.
