thank you for the reply.

i think I’ll install the purge valve first. If that doesn’t do it, the tmap is next…

I’m getting close to 150k or so miles now. So maybe it’s time.

 

Swap out both the MAP sensors while you are at it

 

why not, it’s just money right

I was thinking maybe the o2 sensors and cam and crank. Too far?

edit: maybe I should start with tmap sensor, then purge valve? Because I’ve replaced the purged valve recently although not with oe part

 

T-map sensor replaced, cleaned the plug with electrical cleaner. Purring like a cat. Fuel trims are dead on. Pops and bangs are back. No codes.

going to return the purge valve.

Here’s a pic of the old sensor. Look OE to y’all?

 

No, FAE is an aftermarket brand afaik. OE has different stamps on them. I can take pics if you really want to know

 

The new sensor should be OE. I’ll get a pic and lets see if it matches what you have.

I’ve been running the old one since I bought the car in 2014…

 

I had 2 of these on my 2006 R53

 

thank you, should be able to get a snap of mine later today

 

Kinda the same

 

Actually my old one looks more like the shape of yours

 

Could be differences in facelift/prefacelift and/or continent

 

Maybe. I’ve sent the question over to fcpeuro. I’ll get back with there reply.

I purchased genuine mini OE

 

Fcpeuro got back. They say “continental” is the new OE provider.

anyone buy genuine t-map sensor lately that can confirm?

not that I have trust issues, but I have trust issues

 

It's called trust but confirm.
