    I have a 03 v6 mustang with this code. I replaced the injectors and I’m waiting on a new fuel pump and filter as we speak. I also have a mean exhaust leak right by bank 1 and that might be the issue ima bring it into a shop to get it fixed soon. but my oil dip stick smelt like fuel so that’s why I did my injectors, but the pump is probably old as hell too. Idk I’m just cleaning up after the people who didn’t do any Maintnance. But now I know i should also check my MAF sensor and make sure it’s working and do a vacuum leak test as well because those could also be giving me issues so thank you!

    I just got this 171. 08 f150. Cleared code lasted 2 weeks then on again. Was told most popular is 02 sense. Also was suggest that my passenger exhaust manifold leak (common) could be the issue.

    I had this code on my 2001 f150. Turned out that the grommets for the IMRC arms had broken and were no longer holding the arms. It was a relatively cheap fix. But a big job.

    Basically ford expects you to just accept since day 1 of design of all ford's will run either too rich too lean yet in the far past there was no sensors to tell the BS , THAT FORD DOES NOT GOVE TFK

    Great tutorial. My 2007 audi a4 giving a p0171. The car starts fine and idles around 1200 rpm then drops to 800 rpm and shakes. I unplugged the brake booster hose and the rpm stays same no change. Shouldn't the rpm rise because I am introducing more unmetered air? I am totally confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  Год назад +2

      This is just a guess, but if there is a big leak somewhere else, there may be no change since there is already a big leak. The MAF sensor may also be having an issue.

    I have a 2003 F150 4.2 that is running rough at idle and while accelerating. The performance is affected at varying levels day to day, but has been consistantly bad for several days. P0316, P0171, P0303. Does anything in this info narrow down the possible issue?

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  2 месяца назад +1

      I would fix the P0303 “Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected” first, as it is likely the issue.

      @@HVAC_Mechanic You got it right! I checked and replaced the spark plug in #3 and it fixed the problem. I didn't suspect the plug because they only have about 30,000 miles on them. But then I remembered the heads need a valve job. The plug also had wet oil on it in addition to the crusty stuff. My mechanic friend advises not to get the valve job because it would beat up the piston rings. I will probably change the rest of the plugs and keep it as a spare vehicle or sell it as is.

    My truck threw p0171/p0174 AFTER the Ford dealer replaced my valve cover gaskets. It is driving me nuts. They claimed it's a cracked intake manifold but spraying brake cleaner all around the intake doesn't change the idle at all. Any ideas?

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  9 месяцев назад +3

      If you think there is an intake leak, it may be best to use a smoke machine to check it.

    I was watching your video so glad I saw it because I just got codes PO125, PO401, PO402, PO1131, PO1151, PO171, PO174, PO305
    I know that you didn't talk about all of the codes that I received, but I was wondering if you have other videos that would help me with them.
    I have a 2000 ford expedition 4.6L V8 Triton XLT 4WD and was hoping you had a video on a vehicle like mine with these code issues.
    I've already replaced my air filter and used the mass air flow spray to clean the sensor. Just going down the list and checking off the codes that showed up.
    I'm about to do my spark plugs and coils since I did receive misfire codes on 1 and 5.
    Just trying to go down the code list and do what I need to do with my vehicle.
    As a female, I've learned a lot by watching videos so I can save money and know how my vehicle works.
    Thanks for any information you can give me.😊

    Just wondering, the MAF sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump (and others) are common to both banks, so why would any of these just affect bank 1? Shouldn't they throw an 0171 AND 0174 code?

    • @HVAC_Mechanic
      @HVAC_Mechanic  15 дней назад

      Yes, this is true, but they are listed as possible causes, and strange things happen sometimes. I made a new video to make this clearer. Here is a link ruclips.net/video/b9__WGuD-dc/видео.html

      @@HVAC_Mechanic OK, thanks. My code (99 Ford V10) was caused by the PCV hose directly under the throttle body. Since the PCV valve is on the #1 bank, I have to guess that it makes sense that the computer would read that. Thanks again.

      I recommend a fuel pressure test sounds like a weak fuel pump. But I would start checking for cheaper options such as the air filter, fuel filter , or fuel pressure regulator.

      Clean them up and put a small amount of oil or some kind of lubricant on them and they should click right in. Very common they might look clean but they're not.
