I'm going to try this corrosion cleaning b/c mine looks like this pic. Is it bad for me to be driving while i'm in this situation? the car is driving normally.
it won't hurt at all to drive the car with the p0410 code. there are even people that have just taken it off and used the block off plates from tvt design's website although I'm assuming they have that code all the time. The pump sensor works off of the resistance/ohms to tell whether it's running correctly or not. that's why I'm assuming that the problem in most of the cars lies in that corrosion. I'm not really sure what to use to stop the corrision and maybe prevent this code from being thrown at all since anything that is put on it would change the ohm readouts the computer gets. hopefully some great minds can come up with a solution.
and hopefully if anyone else has tried this corrosion control and it worked for them maybe we can get some feedback from them and maybe even make this a sticky since this is a fairly all Crossfire related problem.
