N55 - Cat and evap code issues
Hello,
My 2012 N55 is throwing 3 codes and 2 shadow codes. After clearing, I drive until Catalyst completes its scan and it throws 3106 (cat efficiency below limit). Then, after driving a few hundred miles the evap system completes it's check and I get 2BEA (mixture control: fuel-air mixture too lean, large deviation.) and 2BF8 (Rail pressure sensor, signal: permanently stuck). The shadow codes are 2BDE (fuel high pressure on enabling of injection) and 2BF0 which are both activated with evap system. I looked up each code individually and found the following: - 3106 is common for custom maps or aftermarket downpipes (I don't think I have either but cannot be sure about the map because I am not the first owner) -2BEA can be due to the HPFP being bad (but not always) -2BF8 usually means replace high pressure sensor on fuel rail One thing for certain is that I don't want to just go around fixing everything if they are all related. The reason I am posting is because I am looking for some insight on the codes all together. Does anyone know if there is one thing which would cause all of these codes? |

This ended up being the CAT unfortunately. I replaced the O2s first which didn't do anything. Then I bought a used 30k mile CAT from a guy on here and installed it. When I removed the old CAT the honeycomb was broken and I could clearly see it falling apart through the top O2 sensor hole.
I plan on removing the internals and turning it into a catless downpipe after I upgrade my intercooler. The other code was the high pressure fuel rail sensor. Costs $50 bucks and takes about 15 minutes to install if you know how to remove the cowl. I pulled the battery cable beforehand and left it to hopefully avoid fuel shooting all over. I don't think it would have mattered though. After first loosening the sensor there was a small amount of fuel that came out which was easily cleaned up with a towel. I also replaced sparks and coils the next day since I didn't know how old they were. The sparks came out mostly clean though there was a decent amount of carbon build up. I think next is to find a reputable shop which can walnut blast my block for me. I don't want to risk doing it myself. Shops are insured and will get me a new engine if they mess up. |

N55s don't need walnut blasting. I wouldn't waste your money on it.
