I wouldnt buy any of the new cars with eco- boost or turbo charged engines. Theyre all junk in my opinion. Most of the direct injected turbos coke the valves up. The EGR malfunctions in some and they all seem to fill up with water, exhaust, and oil that turns to sludge. People have had to drill holes in their intercoolers in some and replace the EGR plenum in others. It doesnt surprise me that sensor got gummed up. Ill stick with a naturally aspirated engine. Nice work Eric

I dont know much about electronics, but mechanically efficient I am. I must say though you have given me a lot of insight to the electronic side. Sparking my interest seriously. Thanks for all the information you present, Im actually getting interested in it all, slowly understanding the whole thing. The more I watch the more I learn. (Brain food, thanks again, youre the greatest. Jim

1. 4L turbo, replacing the valve cover to fix the crankcase breather that is squeaking a vacuum leak past the rear main seal, those super quality (problematic) Bosch combination IAT/Abs. pressure sensors. feels like working on a BMW or VW again. Then again, most domestic brands are basically building their cars exactly like the Germans now, right down to the Torx fasteners.

I have a 2014 cruze with the 1. 4l turbo manual. Under load ( going up an on ramp ) it feels like the boost isnt stable, fluctuates from 23psi to 10 psi ( No gauge for real numbers just by feel) I replaced the turbo w/ built in wastegate. ( Direct O. E. M at chevy dealer) still have the problem. Maybe plastic B. O. V?
edit - No codes present

My grandfather used to say: pour the coals to her - my dad would say: kick it in the a - I liked to say back in the 70': s dump the secondaries - now we gotta say: give her boost I guess. Somehow doesn't seem so poetic. Ahhh. to each generation their automative idioms.

These sonics and cruz's are the biggest pile of turds on the road. GM really screwed the owners of these cars. From a Shop owner, I like it, but I have heart and feel bad for the customers who own them.

not good seeing so much oil in the intake. wonder if there is a source other than the repaired PCV? You didn't mention it burning oil, so maybe not a blown seal in the turbo?

Eric, what online service do you use for wiring diagrams? And trying to track down an intermittent abs comms problem on my 13 Dodge Avenger.
Love your videos!

Would it not be an idea to first clean the whole intake system before fitting all new sensors before another blast of oil hits them in there Eric?
