So, I've been having issues with Tesla.
2002 NB GLS 2.0L AVH
Last September, I neglected changing my timing belt in time and it slipped. Bent the valves and had the head replaced in January.
Car ran great for a couple of days then . . .
I posted about a month back with an issue having to do with my engine having erratic idle. That was solved by replacing the coolant temp sensor.
Unfortunately, once that cleared another problem cropped up. It was time for her CA smog check. Emissions passed, but that CEL screwed everything up. Tesla would keep throwing codes and the EPC light would peek out every once in a while. Eventually, she wouldn't leave Limp Mode.
Dealership checked her out and found a misfire code. Checked the brand new wires and plugs I replaced (thanks to Thomas EXOVCDS on YouTube!). They found a crack on the coil pack and replaced the injector on a hunch. She runs much better now, but now she's still Limping.
Pick up an Autel CAN AOBDII scan tool from Amazon for $29 (Saturday delivery charge)and got the following codes:
P0715 - Output speed sensor circuit no signal
P0722 - Input turbine speed sensor circuit
I keep reading here that a possible fix is to replace the transmission speed sensor (vehicle speed sender?). But not a one mentions which one or a part number. ECS Tuning has several, but I don't know which one? Is it the G38 or the G68?
And at least on ECS Tuning, it gives suggestions as to what VIN that part may apply to. And I'm not quite sure how to interpret that date range.
If anyone can help with any of this, please do. It's already cost me a pretty penny and I can't really fork over too much more for a car that I'm spending more on repairs that what it's worth. But I'll keep doing it cause I'm a moron.
