So i was doing some spirited driving list night.. (in actual fact i was seeing what sort of 0-100 times i can do. (Entering the freeway at the on lights officer) ;)

First run was all good. Second i got to the top near the top of 3rd and felt like a fuel or boost cut.. CEL came on.. limp mode engaged.. Just checked the numbers (and cleared them).

Came up with:

P0018 OBD Trouble Code

1 result found

P0018 - Generic Type Powertrain - Fuel and Air Metering - ISO/SAE Controlled Description

Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation

Location Bank 2 Sensor A

Anyone got any experience with this.. I havent tried driving it since i have cleared the code.. I am hoping it will just go away. I am thinking i should drop the boost down a bit too.. currently running LPG, with dump and midpipe replaced, break wire cut, bleed valve with factory controller removed running approx 16psi.. (factory guage reading).

I really hope i aint broken it.. :(

You should have dropped in mate, the generic code descriptions are crap. The consult 3 would have explained it better and allowed direct testing of the sensor. At least the limp mode went away and it wasn't the AFM...

If it's the cam sensor I may have one, but try it out, it can only throw another code and go into limp again...

Bugger. Even after clearing the code next start the cel returned. Attempted to drive it to pickup my kid from his grandma's it still was in limp mode though appeared to be driving ok. Filed it up with gas. Then picked up the kid and then it wouldn't start. Kicks over gets ignition tries to get the revs up to idle about a second and a half then stalls.

f**k.

Had to get the kid home so will have to go have a look tomorrow or Saturday.

Will double check the cel and the hoses and connections though it sounding expensive.

Strange that I managed to start it about 6 times and drove it for 40ks before it died. Only difference I can think of is that it's parked on a angle now. Maybe I'll Jack it up and start it. Really painful cause I didn't get it home.it's on the side of the road.

Suggestions most welcome as always.

Timing belt out? Had a few with that code

"its easy on my C34..."

No timing belt.

Sounds like it might be crank and/or cam angle sensors. Wouldn't be too fussed about the air fuel code considering your running gas

You need the consult 3 unit, and I have the software on my laptop. Would you like me to drop around one night? I can bring the cam sensors, I definitely have one, just not sure on the drivers bank sensor.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
