    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    I would normally never bother or have the patience with those legit problem solving steps, but at this point? That may be my only salvation. Next day off in a week I'll take a crack at it in its entirety. Thank you. And wish me luck.

    Man oh man how I wish I had a 1994 tbi engine in my truck. Life would be slightly better and easier.

    I'M BACK. And I'm not happy about it. The codes are back. At this point... I've had a new: -MAF Sensor -MAP Sensor -Lower Intake Manifold gaskets -Upper Intake Manifold gaskets -Upper Intake Manifold to Fuel Injector Spider O-Ring -Throttle Body gasket -Throttle Position Sensor -O-Ring for the...

    Help Wanted: Passenger Airbag Disable Switch

    I think you may have solved my problem. Just out of curiosity I decided to turn my passenger airbag on. When in the off position the light in the switch does not turn on. But, when I turn the switch to the on position the switch lights up and after a day of driving the light in the dash went...

    Help Wanted: Passenger Airbag Disable Switch

    First things first. The passenger airbag disable switch that can be found under or near the cargo light switch died on me. From what I've read this means that neither the passenger or driver airbag will deploy in a crash and I would probably die. That's cool, but my airbag light is on in the...

    P0174 After New Air Filter

    Here's a quick update. The lean condition now occurs on both banks, but it is intermittent. It'll show up for a day, and be gone the next. I've got a little more looking to do, something tells me there is a loose connection somewhere important. Either on the engine on one of, like, three or two...

    P0174 After New Air Filter

    Yep, it's a Vortec. And, my PCV hose is all good, checked it first lol. The concerning thing is that, before, I had both codes when I went through my earlier ordeal since my leak was at the oring round the spider injector where it fits into the intake plenum. But now, I've got a code on only one...

    P0174 After New Air Filter

    Ok guys, what did I do now to upset my trucks all knowing, all perfect, computer? I put in a brand new air filter after I got off work and as I was just about 4 miles from home the damned light came on. Now, it wasn't a K&N filter, it was Purolator, and it was the larger HD filter, not the...

    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    AT LONG LAST I BRING FANTASTIC AND WONDERFUL NEWS! When things got so bad that for nearly a month my truck would no longer start I thought to myself, I should check my fuel injectors to see if they are plugged or leaking, or perhaps a leaking fuel pressure regulator, since on a fuel pressure...

    Mystery Throttle Body Part

    I have been looking for this part high and low and cannot seem to find it anywhere. I wish I could take a picture, (I will when I get a camera decent enough) but I'm sure I can give a pretty good description. I'm looking for the seal that fits into the intake tube that plugs onto the throttle...

    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    So uh... I don't know what I did. But my truck works now. I replaced my ignition coil, my TPS, and MAF, as well as cleaned the crap out of my EGR valve. Incredibly long and hilarious story short, my truck is ready to pass an inspection.

    P.S. All of this bullshit started just because I wanted to get it to pass an inspection, lol, if I'd have known this was gonna happen I would've just tried to go for the officers gun and hope he killed me quick, lol, instead of taking a ticket for expired Registration and Inspection stickers.

    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    Status update. I don't think I can do it anymore. I'm trying to hang in there, but this thing just keeps getting worse, and worse, and worse. It's gotten to the point where it won't start at all. First, I think the battery is dying on me, second, I can't tell if the coil, the cap, or rotor are...

    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    Status update. The only codes I have now are the good old, ever present, immortal, P0171 and P0174 codes, and now the P0300 random misfire code. Before I go troubleshooting and checking everything from the coil down to the plugs including their gap, and cleaning them since they've surely fouled...

    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    That junkyard transmission was definitely a replacement for the truck it was in. From what I could find online the numbers on the case indicate it could be from a 2001 4x4, but I'm not certain on that, and the numbers on the tail housing don't pull up anything.

    It was set with a scan tool. That's how they got it to sit just right in order to keep the check engine light at bay. But they never mentioned anything about a relearn.

    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    Well, after doing some more reading I decided to pull my IAC valve and clean the piss out of it, where it plugs into the throttle body, and the contact pins where the harness plugs in. I popped it back in with a slightly thicker, new o-ring around it and fired it up. Started almost instantly...

    Satans DTC P0171 P0174

    I just wanted to check in. I have not gotten a chance to test the compression or the vacuum yet. However, I wanted to give you a little more information if I could. First off, my truck now has 192,030 miles on it. Also, the truck is a 1997, but technically it's a 1996 (I guess, it was built in...

    Well, I very much appreciate your help, as well as your reply. I did not expect an answer so quickly lol! I think at this point I need to follow your advice with further testing. As far as I know the computer was never relearned when either sensor was replaced, and I did the replacement with...

    Hello everyone. First off, I'm brand new to forums in general and especially new to this one. I've searched high and low across the Internet and have even talked with the service techs at the Pep Boys I work at. I've been driven to join you all here and ask for help with my trucks trouble codes...
