pull the oil dipstick and smell the oil for fuel dilution. the high pressure pump is driven off the camshaft like the old mechanical fuel pumps. the o-ring can leak and fuel can seep into the crankcase. this can lead to rich fuel trims which is what the dtc is for.


for giggles, If you really are keen, inspect one spark plug and see if its all black.

if your oil is overfull or you can tell it has gas in it talk to your dealer theres a special coverage for the balance chain and high pressure fuel pump on the 2.4s
