I have a Portofino giving evap small leak, looks like the issue is the capless fuel filler neck. A smoke test would be standard procedure.
That's likely heat blend motor, whether it can be replaced without dash removal will depend on access.
Still at it... Decided to pull the fender liner to remove the filler and clean it on the bench but there is no access to the tank from the wheel...
Definitely best place to start is checking spark while the problem happens. Having a spare plug and coil would make it practical.
This is not my make of expertise and can't comment on normal behavior but a drop that short would not cause a no start condition. Also note a no...
From what I was able to see the novitec are different with additional fins and slightly more expensive. Where did you order from?
I do like the contrast on the fender and the rear would look wierd painted body color to me. Maybe painting them gloss black would also be a good...
I'm not usually one for aftermarket parts but really dislike the black plastic around the taillights. Thinking about getting the CF surrounds and...
Great that they brought back physical buttons but like the old front better. Not sure why they changed the name when it's only minor changes...
On the windshield.
So it was the stepper motor?
Decided to check the flap mechanism on the fuel filler and the inner flap (which I understand is the one that actually seals the tank) is very...
If cooling performance is good on the one side and getting hot air on the other, it is likely the heat blend actuator for that side. To confirm...
They are right that time does not degrade oil so it would not be a stretch to do 2 year (12k could be high depending on driving habits). However...
Yes I was thinking about that but have not come up with exactly how to cover. But that would be a great test to make sure that is indeed the problem.
Sadly this one is one of those capless fillers. The mechanism does not look particularly robust so I would not be surprised if that is it but I...
Well evap is not something I would call serious except that I live in an emissions check county. Will take it out this weekend to do the clunker...
Yes hall effect sensors have diminished signal strength at higher temperatures so a problem that exists only when hot does point to sensor.
Unfortunately does not seem to be battery related; cleared code, charged overnight and got it to run test again. Evap 3C test 81: Acceptable range...
On a car with carbon ceramic brakes you have the added risk that if they hit them with the wheel they are likely to chip and will need replacement...
