My car is still broken

 

Whats the matter with your car Jon?

 

Throwing codes for bank1/bank2 running lean (P0171 & P0174). I've been meaning to put out a post about it and haven't had time, just searching the forum for answers now. I'm looking at the printout from AutoZone when they pulled the codes and it's been since Jan 15, shows how much time I have to fix my car!

I'm getting super ishy gas mileage so I'm hoping it's just a dirty MAF. I put the car up on stands because I thought it had to be a gas leak but I didn't see any leaks anywhere. I left it up on stands because my new front a-arms just came in today

I'm gonna clean the MAF and air filter, reset the ECU and see if the codes come back.

 

The maf would be my first thought Jon. If you had a gas leak you would deff know that quick bein in a garage. If cleaning the maf doesnt work i would look at the fuel pump next to see if its still putting out enough pressure

 

If it were the fuel pump not putting out enough, I don't think that would affect my gas mileage like it is?? I've gone about 130 miles on 3/4 tank!

Something I just thought of ... I'm running copper plugs which are only supposed to be good for about 10k miles. From what I'm reading this code is thrown when the O2 sensor is reading too much oxygen so I wonder if it's time to change the plugs again as they may not be making a complete burn??

What confuses me is the ishy gas mileage, if the sensor is incorrectly reading lean then I would guess the ECU would be dumping more fuel...

Sorry for hijacking your thread Gavin, I will take this out to the main DFW forum...

 

i wish i could go to this.....im working all weekend again. Damnit this sux!

 

Heading up there in an hr.

 

Good to meet you today GWord! Thanks for visiting a bit in the middle of your runs. I'm sure I'll be seeing you out at more events soon!

The fam had fun watching the event for awhile. That old trans am was insane! I've never watched autox before but it definitely seems like the small cars are quicker around that type of run that the bigger cars. Looks like a total blast though!!
