So, I was driving down the road. The cruise was set to 55 and I hit a fair size hump in the road. The cruise shut off and for a second a yellow light (possibly check engine) came on. It went away, I set the cruise back to 55 and everything seemed fine. 1/2 mile later I head up a ramp and the car has very little power and is puttering and stuttering. I make my way up to a gas station and park. Inspecting the car there are no leaks or anything else aside from it just running like crap, same with under the hood. I shut the car off and check the CEL code on my Accessport to see this code. I clear the code, but it comes right back on power up. However, the car starts fine and runs great, like it always has. It's been great for the last 200 miles. (Ride home, and to and from work yesterday and today.) The aftermarket blowoff valve the previous owner had installed works great.
As near as I can tell it's a Turbosmart BOV, but an older one, as the car's a 2016. I told my mechanic at work about this and asked that he take a look to see what he could. He took this picture. He said he cleaned what he could and thought that some how, some way water/vibration/that jolt from the bump could make it be throwing the code, because the code is still being thrown.
The current BOV has a rubber tube that snakes up to the MAF (MAP?) sensor thing, and 2 ports, one blocked in with thread sealant and one for the tube.
Thoughts?
New BOV? Can't just get the connector? Could it be something else?
Thanks for any help you can give.
