Re: code 171 + 174
Yes. minor leaks. nothing major. According to tse minor leaks are not a problem. vacuum lines are fine.
What else can cause it? Do the freeze frame info I typed mean anything? |

Where are the leaks??? I would think any leaks would mean unmetered air in the system which leans it out. |

Re: code 171 + 174

Re: code 171 + 174
towiseman... hi.. not sure if it's related or not.. but i had both of those code on my 1999 windstar.. made me crazy... and after much research it ended up being the isolator bolts and the neoprene gaskets under the clamshell... and mine also apeared to be minor vac leaks etc.. and giving lean codes.. but after i replaced all better.. 2 years strong... ;-).. good luck..

Re: code 171 + 174
Thanks. Please let me know where are those isolating bolts and seal?
What does those freeze frame data say anyway?? Do they point to anything? |

Re: code 171 + 174
Any unmetered air leaks is a problem.
Repeat smoke test and focus on PCV, EGR, and air intake systems. |

Re: code 171 + 174
Thanks. Those are fine. No more leaks. It is fine for a couple of weeks and suddenly it happens. Always it is when the car is not warmed up completely and not moving. If there was any undetected leak it would happen when the engine is warmed up as well. the car is running perfectly fine when warmed up. What else can do that?

Re: code 171 + 174
Plastic, rubber, and seals will loose there seal when cold.
What gives the feedback signal to the ECU/PCU ? H20 sensor Do both a cold + hot smoke test, befor buying a new upstream H20 sensor. |

Thanks for reply. It starts well in the morining but until it is completely warmed up if I am stopped at stop sign or trafic light, the engine looks like it wants to go off but it comes back. kind of hesitate but when it warms up the engine is perfectly fine. I changed idle valve once but did not fix it. what can be that? |
