Constant 30FF but lots of power?

montegokid94 · 07-11-2015, 06:22 PM

No matter what now I'll get a 30FF and a 2AAF codes within minutes of driving.

Boost leak test done and no leaks found. Everything looks good.

Not to mention in map 5 the car holds around 16.5-17 PSI on 93 with just bolt ons and stock IC.

Walnuts blasting was done. While power delivery improved and MPG improved I am still getting these codes. Sometimes idling in traffic I feel jolts in the car like almost someone tapped me. Spark plugs and coils are okay and injectors are fine and not leaking...

I honest think the fuel pump is to blame. I've been getting random fuel codes for almost a year now but never any long cranks. The 30FF I have no clue at this point I want to replace the boost solenoids....

Try the solenoid

i recently had the code and vacuum lines were to blame but i was gonna try solenoids after if it didnt work

vacumm line most likely, I had that issue and turned out one of the lines connected to the bottom of one of those vaccum bottles was frayed, replaced most of the lines with some generic 4mm vaccum hoses and no more 30FF codes since.

You can still hit boost target and still have a small leak. If it's not a physical leak in the system then its usually the boost solenoids.

does the boost build slow ? I think 30FF is triggered if actual boost does not meet targeted value in 3 secs... I have a slight leak in valve cover but still don't get 30FF, its gotta be something major or try removing the JB4 or current tune and check

It hits boost pretty fast I need to do logs asap so you guys can see what's actually going on
