Sorry this may be a bit long, but I'll try to be direct. I am considering buying this car.
Car was going down the road and apparently the oil pump broke and the car stopped running so it was towed to mechanic. Mechanic put a new cam sensor in it and also noted that the cam pulley was all the way at the end of adjustment before removing it. He replaced this and it started up. He said that he confirmed the lack of oil pressure and also replaced the oil pump.
Now the car cranks and idles. I had it running with the turbo inlet tube removed so the MAF was plugged in but with no air flow over it. It idles alright, but will only rev to 1100 RPM or so. The nipple on the rear driver corner of the valve cover has a ton of air coming out and a very loud whistling/screaming noise. Think like turbo whistle but louder. When the vent is covered the noise stops but it builds more pressure. The noise instantly resumes when you remove your hand and release the pressure.
It also has a P1475 code that set. It had 3 others I saved but those did not set after being cleared. I can post them up shortly.
The torsion value was -2.0
And ideas what is going on here?
