Idle's funny Hey i was just curious what you might think the problem could be. When i start the car it has a doesn't want to idle correctly, it feels like it wants to die and my ses would start flashing. Early in the week i got 2 codes: P0171, and P0174. The went away the next day. I was thinking it could be the fuel injectors. I was wandering can it be an o2 sensor as well? Any ideas? Forgot to mention its a 2002 z28 no mods. |
anyone ? |
Gunk in the Mass Air Flow(MAF) sensor maybe? Doubt its the injectors if both banks are lean. |
Cleaned out the MAF stopped the codes, but when the car is cold my SES would start flashing unless i keep the RPMs above 1k. It would stop when the temp guage reaches the midway point. The idle doesn't fluctuate just the whole car shakes like mad. |
Not sure if this is related but a month ago or more i had an ses saying that my cat converter was below threshold on drivers side, when i took it to the dealer he said it was replaced 4k miles ago. |
I'm still getting into diagnostics, but as far as I know a flashing SES light means heavy misfiring. |
Guess i will take a look at my plugs over the weekend, see if they are bad or not. |
Replace your fuel filter. Seafoam it. |
