The 4.6 in my 03 F150 had the PCV hose connection behind the manifold crumbling. It is a real bugger to change and can't be seen from the front or side at all. Replacing it cured the P0171 and P0174 codes on mine.

+Richard Gill everything okay?

The trims and elevated speed give a good indication of a leak and fast.

Very good. The smook test was also helpful.

The 3.8 Liter V-6 in my Windstar threw the same two trouble codes. Apparently it's a common problem with that engine. It's caused by a defect in the material used to make the grommets on the isolator bolts that hold the intake plenum onto the intake manifold. Replacing the isolator bolts solves the problem and it's easy to replace them. A lot easier that replacing the intake manifold gaskets on the engine in the video.

Thank you again Paul for a great video.

Had those codes on my 2001 and found the grommet for the Air Charge Temp. sensor had deteriorated enough that the sensor was sort of falling out and the grommet was no longer keeping air from entering the air tube. Probably the easiest thing it could have been. The hardest part after that, was finding a new grommet the right size.

Super video Paul ! I haven't had the opportunity to troubleshoot ad intake leak just yet, my water sprayer twitches :)

On small leaks I've found brake clean and live data helps. When the STFT consistently goes rich, you've found the leak. Leaks too small for those methods? Smoke or like a video of mine where I went crazy DIY with no fancy technique, just look for and replace crusty vacuum lines.

My 2000 5.4 2 valve 157,000 had bad cold rough idle, as you say high fuel trims and when real cold the P0171 P0174. Would clear up as it heated up. Tried to smoke it cold and nothing showed up. First I pulled throttle body off to clean and check that upper gasket as well as all of the vacuum hoses. Put back together, same thing. I should have done this water test but i knew that it was gaskets, common issue due to dissimilar materials plastic intake and aluminum head. I ordered the good Felpro gaskets and when pulled intake saw the dreaded crossover coolant crack as well as gasket separated. Order new Ford intake via amazon as well as motorcraft injector o rings. #7 COP sucks to get out. Had trouble disconnecting the fuel lines with my cheap disconnect plastic rings but i eventually got it after 20 minutes or wrestling. Thing runs like a champ.

If I may ask a quick question related to vacuum leaks and testing them - can a MAP based engine with fuel trims that indicate vacuum leak (as in they get better on higher rpms) still suffer from a vacuum leak when the MAP sensor is showing normal intake vacuum (well, as far as I can guess - don't have specs available) and the IAC is not fully closed yet? I would kinda expect the vacuum to be lower under such circumstances - why wouldn't the ECU just close the IAC more instead of raising the fuel trims or MAP show lower pressure than there should be? I've been struggling to find a leak for weeks (on and off), but with no amount of carb cleaner or water spraying I seem to be able to find one. Yet the fuel trims seem to point to one. Also, I think I can kinda hear some hissing close to throttle body, but again, no dice on finding a leak, so I'm wondering if what I hear is simply the hiss of air running through the throttle body/IAC that's supposed to be there...? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. It's a 2002 Ford Focus (European) and it does indeed have plastic intake (it's a 1.6 Zetec SE). Didn't want to bother you with details on what was supposed to be a fairly general question. I'm kinda wondering if the elusive vacuum leak - which doesn't seem all that big, if it actually is one - could in fact be caused by leaking throttle plate since there really doesn't seem to be any vacuum leak I could find and I know for a fact the throttle plate isn't exactly sealed. But all that aside, I just don't understand why I'm seeing positive trims when MAP sensor seems to be working fine and reading normal vacuum with IAC also seemingly active and working properly (reads around 31-33 percent open at idle). I'd kinda expect to see one or the other on a MAP engine with a vacuum leak (meaning positive trims at low rpms or normal MAP/IAC readings), but not both at the same time. I can't understand why the ECU would raise trims instead of simply closing the IAC more to compensate for the air coming in through the leak - unless I'm missing something in my understanding of how it all works together (which I guess is quite likely).

@Case_

8 жыл бұрын

BTW, still struggling with that lean idle condition, still can't find the reason. No vacuum leak in sight. It kinda seems to me that the lean idle condition is dependent on intake air temperature - the higher it is, the higher the trim numbers (and the worse the car runs at low rpms). If I unplug the MAP sensor (or TMAP, to be precise), the car idles just fine, the STFT basically cancels out the LTFT (the overall trim is around 3 %, so perfectly fine), the O2 does seem to cycle up and down fine (definitely not suggesting a lean condition). The only thing that's off when I unplug the MAP is that the idle gets a bit higher (around 150 rpm more than normal) - but then again the IAC is also open a few percent more for some reason, so it might be that. Could this perhaps suggest the TMAP is somewhat out of calibration at lower vacuum/higher temperature, causing the ECU to run on leaner base values than it should and having to compensate the offset with higher fuel trim? Or is unplugging the MAP sensor a meaningless test?

@Case_

8 жыл бұрын

So, to finally follow up on this for anyone who happens to stumble upon it in the future (because I hate when people don't follow up) - I believe the issue is finally solved. Even though it exhibited all of the classic symptoms of a vacuum leak, it was actually a MAP sensor off calibration that was causing my lean idle (which I guess makes sense, as my engine is a speed density engine, so it depends on accurate MAP reading, but shouldn't really show higher fuel trims with a vacuum leak like a MAF engine would). Apparently it was reading more or less correct at barometric pressure, but as the pressure decreased, the calibration error was gradually increasing, mimicking the classic vacuum leak symptoms. It was off by something like 5 kPa at idle and even more when e.g. engine braking. So it was kind of a pain to diagnose. Replaced the MAP and the highest fuel trims I've seen so far was like 7 percent overall, which is a LOT better than my previous 25+ (STFT and LTFT combined). I was also experiencing quite a lot of engine knock under light acceleration, and that seems to be a lot better as well overall. So I guess the answer to what can cause a vacuum leak-like fuel trims on a speed density engine is - it might very well be your MAP sensor.
