Code p0241 and p0240 question
The car was started, driven down the street about 2/3 of a block, then it started to lose power and eventually stalled. Through a cel.
The dealership says that this is caused by water in the air filter box. I looked it up and it has to do cat, o2, etc. I can guarantee 9999999% that from the tip of the intake scoop to the engine block, there was no water at all. In case you guys want to ask how I'm sure about the water...don't ask. LOL
They said it was documented in the service bulletins, which I found nothing about water, and said that the problem was "fixed". That said that it's caused by the hole in the air intake that drains the water that gets into the intake, being plugged.
Could this be also caused by a bad airflow sensor located right after the filter?

water would definitely make your car run bad and stall. i had an evo hood on my car with the vents open to let the hot air out and when i was at work it rained really hard and my cone filter was positioned by the header and got soaked. it barely ran and almost stalled. people that have a cone filter low on their car without a bipass valve and go thru a deep puddle usually hydrolock their motor and it won't run at all. however, i have never heard of any water issues like this happening to an enclosed stock filter case. the only way i could see it being possible is if someone dumped water in it, car was in a flood, or hood was up and lid was off during a rain storm. there just isn't enough humidity to cause that much moisture in a filter case to cause any problems

So the dealership says that I was looking up the wrong code even though they repeated it and I wrote it down. They said the code was p1241 and p1240. Does this change anything? Am I being B.S.ed?
