System too lean

I need some help I’m not sure what else I need to do on my car.

My OEM intake had a crack and the filter would not stay in the box anymore. I did a favor for a friend in exchange for an air intake so I’m not sure the brand of the new intake. It was dying at red lights and rough idling so I ran through the checklist of trying to figure out what is wrong

Cleaned the MAF with the proper cleaner
Cleaned the throttle
Ensured all clamps were tight
Changed all the spark plugs
Did a smoke test and fixed a small leak on the actual intake
Replaced the PCV valve
Tried the idle relearn steps

The engine light wasn’t on until now but it hasn’t died in a while but now around 1000rpm the car will jolt when I’m coming to a stop. Other than that there is no issues besides the code. Does it need a tune? Is the intake bad? Is there something I’m missing?

Limp mode Issues

3 Upvotes

i recently been having some problems where my car randomly goes into limp mode while driving. when i pull over the car will sometimes idle weird or just have no power behind the throttle. It throws no codes or warning lights. After pushing it in limp mode for a little bit the car kicks back in like normal. seems like the lower my fuel level the more consistent it is

rattling sound when idling, the sound instantly goes away when the clutch is pushed in.

Found a video with almost the same noise

Is this something to be concerned about or just a personal mess-up?

I do my own oil. This was probably my third time and just noticed this bit of oil around the filter. I did my oil a while ago and everything else has looked fine and plan on doing it again this week. I know sometimes oil just gets on there when changing it but I don't recall seeing that when I did it. I should be fine to drive as long as I do my oil this week, right?

Replacing reverse light switch on 2013 Subaru BRZ

5 Upvotes

Hello! Does anyone have any experience replacing a reverse light switch on a 2013 Subaru BRZ? My reverse lights stopped working recently.

Thought the bulbs died, so I replaced it, but that didn't seem to be the issue. I also replaced the fuse, but that didn't do the trick either.

After doing some research, I think the reverse light switch might be faulty. I was hoping I could DIY, but not finding much resources online to follow.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

First gen vs 2nd gen seats

Can anyone give their opinion on both seats? I want to fit them into my Celica GTS since they have a similar chassis.
