Greetings All,
OK, it's inspection time..or was (April). A few months earlier, it was determined I needed a MAF sensor. I had to unplug it to start the car until I got a new one (about two mts later). Now here's where the fun begins.
Error codes now became 141 and 171, Oxygen sensor on Bank 1 and lean fuel mixture (also on bank 1). I replaces the oxygen sensor (there are 3), the one nearest the firewall. Yippie, no more error 141. 171 still existed. I then bought a coil pack and cleared the codes. Ran fine w/o error for about 10 miles. 2 more 171 error codes appeared, and still pointing to bank 1. I bought another coil pack and exchanged another one. Now two installed, but error still exists. I just put in injector cleaner this morning when I filled up the tank, so only time (and miles) will see if this helps.
At idle, the car runs smooth. If I give it gas and race the engine slightly oner 4k, I can feel what appears to be a mis-fire. Any attempt to increase the RPM's seem to be governed. Is this normal?
171 error is now my issue. Any and all help is, as always, much appreciated.
Thanks,
Geli
