    I bought a 2013 Cruze for a $1000, so far, in order, I've done the rear shocks, the valve cover(pcv failure #1), the turbo and exhaust manifold, oil return line, oil feed line, coolant feed line, thermostat, coolant outlet housing(cracked during turbo replacement :(), valve cover(pcv failure #2), coil pack, and pcv fix v3.4.

I think it's the same for car engines. There is a lot of technology, detectors and other things on engines these days that make them complex, but if you watch and read and get an understanding of what you're looking at, repairing your own vehicle can be done and done safely.

    If your intake system has a significant vacuum leak that's allowing air to enter at a point DOWNSTREAM from the MAF sensor and UPSTREAM from the Throttle body, this will allow air to enter the intake system that the Computer is unable to measure (because it's after the MAF sensor). The computer will measure excessive Oxygen in the 1st O2 sensor, and respond by increasing the Long Term Fuel Trim in order to correct the Air : Fuel mixture or Stoichiometry error (Lean Condition). Check to see if your Long Term Fuel Trim has been increased to +10% to +20%. The computer will do this in response to the unmeasured air getting into the system through that vacuum leak. The computer will also issue the "Operating Too Lean" P0171 code. If you think about it, this is the exact condition that the P0171 code was designed for but hardly anyone mentions it. Bear in mind that in a Turbocharger system, this includes the whole intake side of the Turbocharger so it's not going to be simple to find.

My GF has a 2016 Malibu similar engine She was getting these codes also so I went in and cleaned the throttle body real good and it was fine for 3 months and here it won’t autostart with the check engine light on so scan it and the same code so I clean it and all was good for about 3 months again Go back in and clean it and it was due for an oil change so I went with pennzoil because I heard this was one of the better oils to use and low and behold it hasn’t come back on ! Car only has 50,000 miles I was starting to think the car had blowby or something… I do believe there is a recall with some of these for the valve cover or something? Anyways good info bro!!

    Ever figure it out? My very first guess would be to check the PCV hose. That will not only absolutely guarantee a P0171 code as well as fuel trim problems, but also can interfere with oil flow to and from the turbo. May want to also check the PCV valve itself like shown in the video. If turbo pressure is delivered into the crankcase from the turbo (in lieu of bad hose/valves on the hose) then it will damage the diaphragm of the PCV valve itself. A lot of people complain about bad PCV valves on the cruze, so much so that it was even recalled. But the truth is much of the time the PCV valve wasn't the culprit, but rather terrible hose designs used by GM on many vehicles. Coincidentally, all of these vehicles have this known issue.

    Hello, I've got P0171 and P1101 faults on my 1.4 turbo. I checked the non-return valve in the intake manifold, the oil separator membrane and the non-return valve in the turbo hose which was bad. I changed it with an used one, but it passes little air from the turbo side ( you can barely blow the air from that side in to the hose). My question is: should I bother to buy a new hose for 50eur? Could the system even feel such a small amount of air coming from the hose and turn on the check engine light?

    Could be your PCV valve there’s a circle in the top right of your valve cover it you cover the little hole with ur finger and if your engine tweaks it’s your valve cover because your pcv is built in with it

    That thing on the valve cover is not a PCV valve it is a part of the system. The main culprit is in the intake manifold. The PCV is actually a small orange rubber? Diaphragm that either disappears or is “ there “ but partially leaks. Chevy should have fixed that issue but just kept selling intakes and valve covers that just ended buggered up again. There’s a kit on another site ( look for Cruze kits ) if you have the right engine.

    What could be the cause of a P0171 on a 2016 Jeep Patriot Latitude 2.0 we just replaced the MAP sensor but the vehicle still has a rough idle and the rpms run high while driving on the freeway approximately 65-70 mph the rpms are jumping up to 2200-2700 rpms. What could cause that? My husband already checked for vacuum leaks and says he can't find any obvious leaks. We just replaced the map sensor thinking that would fix it but it didn't so I'm thinking it could possibly be a bad Throttle Body w/Actuator IAC Idle Air Control or a TPS Position Sensor or even possibly a upstream 02 sensor. If anyone else can give me some advice on what I should fix next I would greatly appreciate it thank you!

    Rhonda you definitely need a scan tool to look at codes and live data. It's best to test and not guess as I could think of $500 in possible parts so it's back to looking at data . Your lean code could be many things so start off with fixing that code first.

    Ive done both of these things that your video shows and the issue hasnt gone away. My friend amhzs the same problem with his 2016 chevy cruze 1.4T limited LT. Ive tested the PCV valve, the purge valve both are good. Hes had the valve cover replaced, the MAF sensor replaced, both O2 sensors replaced, MAP sensor replaced, the plastic hose that runs on top to the turbo replaced, intake manifold replaced... i found this PCV fix kit online which is my last hope and also plan on replacing his timing chain being that the car is over 125k miles and its never been done before. He has a primary code P0171 as well as a few other secondary codes. If this PCV fix kit does not resolve his problem, do you have anymore suggestions?

    The PCV system is to blame. That kit, if installed properly should fix the issue if everything else you stated was already replaced. The job takes at least 15 hours but 5hats because the JaB Weld part of the kit needs to properly cure ( 24 hours is even better ) the kit install should take a first timer 2 to 3 hours only because of salvaging the parts from the old system and some of the connectors are hard to pull off.

    mas Airflow sensor use MAF Sensor cleaner. For the throttle body use Throttle body cleaner. Don’t spray the Throttle Body cleaner into the throttle body, use the method in this video or spray a micro fibre cloth and us3 your finger GENTLY. Locate where ant sensors or electric throttle plate actuator are are and don’t get any more than a lightly sprayed with cleaner cloth in that area. Do both the MAF and the TB, MAF sensor first, let it dry for 15-30 minutes before reinstalling and while you wait, clean the Throttle Body.
