Love the straightforward explanation! The best part of this video is that it explains WHY this is happening. Too many times there is no diagnosis, simply just throw this O2 sensor on and it is fixed...It is so important to know HOW the symptoms are related to the solution.

How do I know which nine it is, p0171 could be either one too much 02 or 2 little fuel?

Just found my type,, thank you P 0717. Let's get rich!!!

Great video. My 97 Oldsmobile 88 has this code and on Top of that the car doesn't start half the time. As I turn the key it makes it's usual noise but doesn't start, and eventually it starts and runs fine. PLEASE HELP

I have this same code but it shows bank 1 and bank 2 too lean. Would this be the same for O2 sensors

Can also be caused by Dirty intake filters

The problem was a vacuum leak I had disconnected the tubing running from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve because of a low EGR flow code. The reason for that was because I couldn't get the bolts out of the EGR valve without them snapping so I was using this method to spray through the EGR valve 2 possibly unstick it if it was stuck and maybe possibly the cleaner would go through the EGR completely and possibly break the carbon up in the EGR channels. The cleaner was a seafoam product used to inject through air ducts while engine was running. It seemed to have fixed the problem but not entirely I may have to do it again and see where that lands me since I can't get the EGR valve off without snapping the bolts.

Not too bad. 98% of people would just change an O2 only because the code mentions the words O2 sensor. Actually, O2 sensor is not the most common culprit. In fact, if the LTFT is able to set a functional baseline with a zero’d STFT, it is mathematically impossible the O2 can be faulty. But no, no- people just rev up their parts cannon anyway.

Ha, hilarious. I just mentioned your video as a reply to one of the comments on here after someone complained about other videos going on and on...This tool just pisses me off, making people think it is going to tell them what part to change. People were doing this with Actron code readers in 1996. The video even helped direct them to replace the o2 sensor! I noticed that there were no videos telling what part to change with a U1000 code..."Just tell me what to start swapping!"

Code readers are just that, they are code readers and not a problem solver. They give a code, its thru PROPER DIAGNOSTICS that you find the real problem and can fix the issue. Codes merely just point you in a direction to get started. Many other issues can set a MIL indicator or check engine light. Problem with todays economy is vehicle owners DO NOT want to pay the labor price to have their stuff diagnosed and fixed, although they'll stupidly spend money just throwing parts at it and eventually getting lucky only afyer replacing everything that wasnt even the problem.

I keep on getting a P0171 code in a Chevrolet LS1 V8 powered car,the fuel pressure seems to be low at 50 PSI & there seems to be air in the fuel when checked the fuel volume,the fuel pressure should be 55-62 PSI. So,the first thing I'll change will be the fuel filter before anything else,I've already changed the fuel filler cap which was leaking air into the fuel tank,note no P0442 is listed for my car as the engine is in a Holden who didn't fit a fuel tank pressure sensor !

Wouldn’t bank 2 be lean if it was a bad fuel pump tho?

Sadly for me i've invested tons of money fixing the MAFS and other shit and it still is on. When I had them check in the morning before I left for work they literally said nothing is wrong inside and maybe I should change gas stations or fuel types. And unfortunately that too did nothing the past 6 months BUT when I needed to have a oil change the light decided to turn off when they decided to do my inspection Early July and It popped back up the following day. At this point i feel like the light and the code is all bullshit, as it's trolling me.

How to fix that because I have a Mazda 6 2014 y the same code P0171 and I don’t know what to do

Can this have anything to do with the muffler or muffler valve. I just bought a used car and 3 days later the engine oil turned on with codes P0171 and P0174 . I contacted the dealer and they said they’d check it but it was most likely a valve in the muffler? I don’t know much about cars. Help would be great.

Not a serious problem,change the spark plugs yesterday when off..n light came back on..after 24 hrs

Mine's throwing that code, but running so rich it's painting the driveway under the exhaust pipe black. It's not a vacuum leak or a fuel shortage. Something is giving the computer an incorrect reading

Damn, soo many things can be wrong 😩

I'm gonna start by cleaning my mass airflow sensor and putting in a clean air filter... If that doesn't do it, I'm gonna get some fuel injector cleaner and spray around the intake manifold to see if it has any effect on the engine idle sound... If it does then I need to replace the intake gasket... If that doesn't fix it I'm gonna have to throw a new air flow sensor in. Hoping I guessed right with the MAF sensor.

Could a bad rear main seal cause it also?

@fixdapp

4 жыл бұрын

That is a good question. The answer is YES it can. A leaking or failing rear main seal can cause the fuel trims to run lean by allowing excess air into the system. Many modern engines in cars of today will run poorly and throw a fault code and or a check engine light for a lean condition simply by pulling out the oil dipstick on the engine and having it not seat properly. This again allows excess air into the system.

I got this code on a Mazda 5 less than two weeks after it had been serviced. I found something online and sure enough the tech must have opened the air filter housing to check it and didn't get the entire housing back in its proper place. After making sure everything was secure and clearing the code it has been fine. I check gas mileage every fillup and as long as the car is running fine these codes can be bullsh*t. Another money grab to get you to come in to pay $150 for the dealer to read the codes.

The sensors can be cleaned but, if that doesn’t do the trick, a new sensor or sensors will fix.

I am willing to bet my code happens when I use at least a half tank of E85 gas and my truck is not designed to use it
