Hello everyone, I need your help please!
I have a 2007 Gallardo Spyder, 81,000km on it, I purchased it 6 months ago.
Since purchasing it, it has intermittently been throwing P1106 codes, sometimes just 1, sometimes twice in the same cycle before clearing.
It happens mostly toward the end of the day of driving, eg. When the car is hot. Typical driving for the day (car is driven usually once or twice a week like this) is like 60-90 minutes of broken driving, mostly city driving, and lots of stopping starting, engine off, parked for 5-10 mins between, then short drives of equal length like 5-10 mins.
Toward the end of the day and usually after the car sits for a little while eg. 60 + mins, the car will trigger p1106 code / CEL after 5-10 mins of driving.
Over the past few months, here’s the work that we have completed on the car to try and resolve this with no luck (each fix / item was completed individually and then tested the car and same fault before doing the next thing)
1. Smoke tested engine - small leak in each of the secondary butterfly valve shafts in the intake manifolds on both sides - replaced the shaft seals and retested - no more leaks.
2. Replaced both air filters
3. Replaced MAP sensor with genuine Bosch part
4. Throttle bodies rebuilt by Xemodex in Canada - one had more issues than the other, both were showing early signs of failure - but sadly didn’t fix the issue.
5. As a final attempt without knowing what else to try and look at, we cleaned both of the big plugs in the engine bay on either side of the engine that connect the ECU’s to the loom / all sensors. This was probably the closest effect we had in the sense that I have driven the car for approx 3.5 hours of broken driving over the last 2 days and it only triggered to code at the very end of the day today, again after the car was parked up for about 90 mins and then triggered 5 mins into the next drive.
Does anybody have any ideas or can anyone please shed light on this?
Have you had problems like this, and know what we can do next to try and solve this?
Car feels absolutely fine, no sluggish behavior or rough running. Sometimes a slightly rough idle / rev hunting, but usually not close to timing of the engine code….
I am at a loss so any ideas or advice is much appreciated,… thanks guys!
