So, I noticed that the airbox didn't have any bolts holding it down. The previous owner must have lost them or forgot to put them back in. I was wondering what bolt it uses to secure it so I can go get some from the hardware store.



It has also left a big gap between the filter and the top of the airbox. My mini is throwing a P1498 code and seems to be running pretty rich, could this be the cause of it?

Don’t think that will cause rich condition. Maybe dirt in the intake.

maybe got map sensor dirty

 

What is a normal MAP sensor reading? Mine is reading around 10 psi at idle.

 

what is your idle at temp? I’d have to check with inpa

 

It sits around 750 rpm, but it seems to have a slightly rough idle. Not enough to stall the engine or anything, but it's noticeable. Almost like a random cylinder misfire.

I also just back probed the MAP sensor on the intake manifold. I used a DMM to get the voltage across the signal wire and ground. What I found was that at idle, it would sit at around 1.0-1.2V, when the throttle was pressed it would drop. So it seems to be functioning correctly.

 

I have found nearly all of mine are stripped out. Only one holding it together and I aint coughing up the dough for a new one.

I just got some M3x45mm bolts and lock nuts from the hardware store. Only cost $3

 

my maf hovers around 9.00 in inpa @ 750 rpm. But it’s measured in kg/sec not psi. Measure of air flow

about 27 kg/sec @3000 rpm

 

I picked up some carb cleaner and noticed when I sprayed it near cylinder 1 injector the engine would stutter. I also noticed a slight hissing sound when I got my ear close to it.
So when I find time I'm going to pull off the intercooler and look around. I'm thinking it could be a bad injector O-ring or a bad manifold gasket.
