Looked it up. Other then the info the website above provides any one have the same issue or possible fixes?

Car seems to be running fine. Code just appeared after normal driving. Car has been modded. Headers were done about 2 to 3 months ago. No issues until now.

Bad tune? (upper range limit not increased from pulley change?)

or

Bypass valve stuck?


"The code sets when the manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) detects pressure outside an acceptable value. The book shows that P012B can be caused by a slow MAP sensor or a damaged MAP sensor."

Would a bad tune take a few months for light to come on? Going to replace the sensors and see what happens.

Probably not. But ambient temps have been lower in the last week so if it was right on the edge and we get a mineshaft air day or two...

Could just be the MAP sensor going bad, loose connection, etc.

You should log the data to see if it's lean or has any negative advance. Can't comment further w/o seeing all your mods

You should log the data at WOT in 3rd gear to see if it's lean or has any negative advance. Can't comment further w/o seeing all your mods and tune

Full list of mods include e85 sensor, upper pully, headers, cold air intake.
What should I look for logging. I have one of those bluedriver obd2 devices that provides data.

Let's start by finding the Dynamic Advance data column and looking for any negative numbers (meaning it's pulling timing)

I'm new to the LT4 supercharger but it must have some type of wastegate, so look for WG "%" column

Also, pull and clean MAF sensor, then disconnect battery + lead to reset ECU.

I had the same code at one point and I forgot to tighten the bolt for the sensor when I did the upper pulley. Its behind the TB to the right, 10mm bolt.

I said **** with it and just took it to the mechanic/tuner. We replaced the sensor with new one from dealer, bout $50.00. Code did not go away. He plugged in his laptop and was able to clear it.
