I really didn't want to start new thread about this but none of the people on here or supraforums have posted the resolution they found for their issues.
Anyway...
A few weeks ago I installed a bic ddp, bic test pipe, and hks drager catback. A month before that I installed a blitz sus power intake. The car was running beautifully and felt fast as hell.
Then a few days ago I started to notice a stutter when i boosted. I also hit fuel cut a few times so i thought maybe that was the issue (car was running pretty close to 12 lbs). After doing some research i drilled out the plate on the stock afm and backed the adjustment screw out like people do on the lexus afm. That didn't make a difference whatsoever.
The car runs and idles fine under normal driving so i figure this definitely has to be caused by a boost leak. Going with my gut i removed the intercooler, all of the piping aside from the plastic in the fender, and the accordian hose. Sure enough i found 2 or 3 "potential" boost leaks. 2 are of course on the lower ic pipe that goes to the turbo and one is actually on the hose to the stock bov.
Just to be sure, i read the codes expecting to see a 34, and instead found that I am throwing a code 24 which is this:
24 Intake air Temp Sensor Signal
Diagnosis
* Open or short circuit in intake air temp sensor signal (THA).
Trouble Area
* Intake air temp sensor circuit
* Intake air temp sensor
* ECU
After searching i found this to be a pretty common problem, but it seemed like everybody had their own little variation and that most of them were throwing more than one code (ie: 34 & 24).
So this is my main question:
Is it possible that a boost leak could cause the ecu to misread and throw a code 24? Or is the code 24 a completely seperate issue from my boost leak?
