    Moral of the story. Keep modern cars stock. Intakes/air filters and exhaust by themselves will decrease performance unless the tuning on the computer is changed. By then the car probably fails emissions and gets crap fuel mileage.

      Very true. Most people do not keep their cars maintained where they should be. I have a 2013 Subaru Impreza with 180k and its performance shocks people without a single performance mod. Just did all 20+ things that need to be done to a car with that mileage, plus kept all the fluid changes up to date, which includes ignoring the lifetime fluid garbage in the manual. Few dealers will even do all everything that needs to be done. How often have you heard of a dealer cleaning the mass air flow sensor? It is a 10-minute job, but it's not on their to-do list.

    That's a lot of valve noise. Older cars can be loud like that and still run OK for years but most modern engines today when you hear it like that you are probably going to be rebuilding the entire valvetrain in the near future. It could be just carbon build up but even then if I hear an engine clacking that loud I probably walk away from the deal. Some may say it's nothing but I will err on the side of caution when it comes to buying a used car.

He explained clearly why removing the muffler was a bad idea, explained the consequences of the action, and noted that the car continues to run properly in certain conditions (at speed) due to the grace of the software engineers.
      It was a bad decision. There are muffler replacements that you can use if, for some reason, you want to "do what you want" and make you Lexus loud, but you didn't do that. What you did was remove an important component of the exhaust system with no consideration to how the vehicle would be affected. That's why you had to talk to Scotty in the first place! Because you didn't know what you were doing!

  • @paulmadsen51
    @paulmadsen51 Год назад

    It's not actually running rich. That's what the fuel trim is for. It's trimming the fuel down so that the mixture is correct. The default fuel calculation is incorrect, but the O2 sensor is instructing the computer to correct it. There's no risk of oil dilution as long as there are no codes and the computer is in closed loop.

    Thanks for sharing Scotty. I own a 2008 Lexus IS350 running rich on both banks with codes P0172 and P0175. No muffler modifications done. Have changed both A/F sensors, MAF sensor, PCV valve, gas cap, intake manifold gasket, used a smoke machine to look for leaks and detected none, but still these codes show up and on idle the cabin can smell like exhaust. My long term fuel trims go as high as 39% for both banks. Only pending to change is the EVAP purge valve. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

      @jeejay98 Год назад +2

      I could see that you have changed mostly but the spark plugs. If your plugs don’t fire efficiently because they are worned out, then your fuel mixture would still run rich. Just my $.02.

      @@jeejay98 thanks for your 2 cents. I did change the 6 spark plugs a couple of months ago for OEM Denso ones. Before and after the issue has persisted I am afraid. Since I am getting the codes for both banks I am inclined to think that is something in common between both, so this makes me think that a spark plug or injector or coil might not be responsible. What do you think?

      I would suggest replacing some vacuum lines. I had the same two codes on my 07 IS250 and I found some pretty cracked hoses on the PCV system but didn't detect anything when I used a smoke machine because the vacuum leak would come and go as I drive the car. It's only $3 a foot for some vacuum line at a store so it's worth to try. Also, check your air filter incase that is clogged.

      If you smell exhaust gas in the cabin then you should prolly check your exhaust pipe from the header to the muffler tip coz its leaking somewhere and as scotty said,back pressure might be reduced due to that leakage.Inspect that exhaust pipe thoroughly,use even a soap form while on idle to detect it

    I'm not there in person so I'm not going to make a big thing out of it but, there's a few more things I would check with LTFT's showing. Carbon deposits on valves for one along with MAF GPS reading. Most common I see lately on GDI engines is carbon on the backs of valves and often a good induction service and a "drive it like you stole it" with adaptives reset with the scan tool does the trick. But I'm not there and maybe Scotty is correct about the muffler missing on that particular vehicle.

    This generation IS250 also suffers from excessive carbon build up on the back of the valves, being that it's direct injection only, not the D4S dual injection system. Had this same issue with my car. Carbon build up = less air flow + same amount of fuel = rich conditions.

      @@AustinsCoins I soaked the valves in seafoam about two ounces for each valve and let it sit for an hour. And then began to scrub each valve by hand with a small wire brush. Just be careful because one valve will remain open while the other 11 are closed. After cleaning I blew each runner out with compressed air. Also change the oil after you do the service just in case your introduced any contaminates. My car went from getting 21mpg average to 27mpg average, and runs much smoother and quieter now.
