My time has come
Good ol' P2261
Trying to figure out my plan of attack here. Here are the deets
This car is pretty stock other than a custom ECU tune. The CEL came on out of the blue first one ever. I have an OBD2 scanner so I got the code, that's the only code. I actually drove it for a bit as I was looking at the boost pressure. It's still able to hit 16 even 18 PSI at one point. So it's not in limp mode and also there's no compressor surge I was listening for that.
I was watching some videos on how to get to the solenoid. Not sure if I need to do like leak testing. Might also be the diaphragm. I turned the code off and it came back on so yeah I gotta do something about it lol. It has 110K miles.
The 2nd pic there's a blue thing down there wasn't sure if that's the solenoid/stock piece. $50 solenoid on eBay least it's not bad, definitely trying to do this myself, solenoid is black and grey so not the blue thing. I think the area in red I have circled is a BPV not the solenoid.
F man they're saying get at it from under the car... I don't have ramps shiiiii that's like a phobia of mine lmao the car crushes me might just take it in, will keep looking at videos. I think I still have maxcare time to use that shi. Yeah I'm looking at the wrong spot lol if it's the solenoid looking at this vid. It's actually top left of first pic.

F man you need ramps, yeah I'm gonna use this expensive ass maxcare lmao, yeah if it's like $200 that's cool. Sorry guys still not a true car guy, I'm at an apt complex not trying to buy ramps although I do have tires to swap between winter/summer. I do want to use this maxcare that I've been paying for and never used. I'll post an update as to what happens.
