my baby is sick :(
 

pulled out of the gas station this morning on my way to work and the SES light came on :(
gonna head over to autozone in about an hour after i leave work and get it checked out.

My SES light has been on for about 3.5 yrs now...:confused:...

just got back. P0171:

"The PCM has determined that during testing, the duel system for bank 1 was too lean. (Bank 1 identifies the location of cylinder #1, while bank 2 identifies the cylinders on the opposite bank).

any ideas on how to fix?

Exhaust leak would do this.

well i dropped my buddy off at work today and just before i left the parking lot (luckily), the car died. popped the hood, and one of the rubber hoses/hose clamps on the cold air intake from the tube itself to the throttle body was off on one side somehow. of course i didnt have my tools with me so i had to tighten the screw with a penny, heh. seems to be running ok now, had about 20-25 miles to drive on the highway before i was home and she was ok.

that's called a massive vacuum leak. that's the other cause of a lean bank. good work.

Very MacGyver-esque, glad to hear everything worked out.

heh thanks, had to make it work with what i had. i was actually close to a Lowe's but i wasnt about to go buy a screwdriver to tighten one screw, im not that much of a sucker :tongueout:

when ya get done just return it! lol

just a little advice...........do not ever, under any circumstance's, listen to anyone in an autozone uniform. I dont care if they check there computers or not they are never ever right on anything that they ever tell you.........never

LOL.. that IS sound advice. hehe...

OOOO SNAP..I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS A REASON FOR PENNYS!!!!! gotta make sure I have 1 in teh pocket just in case this happens to me!:boink:
