Finally got the Aeromotive AFPR in now I have a freaking lean code, P0131 & weird AFR behavior no matter where I set the fuel pressure.


Anyone have any ideas?






I reset the ecu 20x+ tried with & w/o unichip (in A & B maps & off) I just let it sit for about an hour & no code, AFR running where it should (in my driveway)

As far as the tape, the mechanic that did my motor did the install, I was sick of leaking at the oem FPR fitting, turned out all the fittings I had gotten were the wrong thread pitch, we went to the local tuner shop, 80.xx later I had the right fittings and real SS Fuel lines (the crap I got from Amazon was ricer junk)


Hopefully the ECU just needed to learn the new fuel pressure, I'll find out in a bit when I go pick up dinner.

Installed the passenger side mirror bolted right up no problem at all reverse tilt, heat & all adjustment retained.




Drivers side is in!


All functions still there. Heat, movement etc!





There was a small electrical connector on both sides, on the passenger side I took 5 minutes making sure I was not leaving something unattached.


Before I pulled the driver side I was sure it was for the seat/mirror memory. NOPE.


It was unattached on the driver side when I opened it & the memory connector is totally different.


The only option on my car was NAV & I have it. 


Anyone know what it could be for?

Thanks, that is not an engine cover, it is an 09 3.7 TL intake manifold.



Assuming you are talking about the part to the left with the Acura logo.

Small update, some pictures I just took:











I meant to include this picture, somehow left it out.

Maybe a mod could put it at the front of the previous post & delete this one please?

Yesterday coming off the 10 FWY, I was hit by a semi. We were waiting for the light to change, I was not moving. Traffic was backed up so we were both slightly at an angle getting onto the street from the offramp.


His lane moved first and apparently the trailer was partially in my lane and hit me.


We pulled over and he was mad at me, said I was too close! I WAS IN MY LANE, he moved & hit me!


He acknowledges he hit me but when I asked for his insurance information told me no, call the cops!


I said regardless of fault he is required to exchange information and the insco will work it out, he refused. I called 911. after 20 minutes of blocking a major street at an offramp three DPS officers and their cars came, he told them he hit me but I was too close, I told them I was in my lane waiting for the light. 


The officer asked if you knew he was too close why did you go? No answer!


They assigned him the #1 position on the report which shows they believe he was at fault and said if there is a problem the insco can get in touch with her and she will tell them he admitted hitting me.


I hate this s*it!


His "damage".





Here is the mirror, pushed all the way forward damaging the mount & back as well as the front bottom where the tire hit it. 



It is hard to see where the plastic melted on the bottom.
