Re: Battery Light Flicker & illumination

OK ready for this? My alternator is bad. I'm getting a new on istalled right now. Lucky for me it's still under warranty but I still have to pay the instalation labor, oh well.

However, remember when I told you I got an error code P0174 (I said earlier P0175, I ment P0174) I replaced the front sensor. The check engine light didn't go out. When I reran the test today I now have 2 error codes.....

P 0171 System to lean (Bank 1) and the original P 0174 System to Lean (Bank 2)

BANK 2 !!!! I just replaced that one !! What gives. "Stupid Computer"

like i said, your 02 sensors were working properly to begin with. If you throw a rich/lean 02 sensor code, your 02 sensor is doing what its supposed to do.

Try cleaning your MAF and see if that doesnt help with the lean code. Theres a how-to on contour.org.

Also inspect for vacuum leaks.

Re: Battery Light Flicker & illumination

Where is the Mass Airflow Sensor located. Is it easy to get to?

Its located between the black rubber accordian tube on the intake and the intake filter. Should look something similar to this.



Heres the how-to:
