Wheels turned as I drive away and 2 knocks and then silent again until turning sharp in parking lots. I had changed both lower arms before the sound started occurring so I double checked my work and nothing was left loose.
Today for no reason the dreaded 4x4 light and amber brake light lit up followed by the trans failsafe mode. Shut everything down and restarted it and all the lights went out and all good again.
I have also been fighting a P0172 and P0175 system too rich left and right bank so I am doing a smoke test in the morning to see if an intake leak is causing those codes.
I unbelievably pamper both my BMWs but the X seems to want a little attention lately...  |
Do you know what the short term and long term fuel for each bank?
If I had to guess the MAF is dirty. This will not allow the MAF to measure the correct amount of air entering the engine. So with an incorrect of air entering the engine, the computer is compensating for the air-fuel ratio by adding fuel to the mixture, but the 02 sensor sees a different story so it is throwing up those codes.
If you have a scanner or software that can read real-time data you can see what the grams per second of air are being reported by the MAF.
