well,
i kinda expected to have to shake some things out after i got the truck back, and i am.........
the truck did run better after getting the egr hooked back up, but it is still lacking that definate punch when giving gas, and the airbox sound is alot louder than i remember.........
i have not ever thrown a code since ive owned the vx. well ive caused a code when i didnt have things hooked up....but anyway........
i got a PO300, multiple cylinder misfire......im pretty sure i got this one nailed down, the shop replaced my factory plugs with championdouble platnium plugs. i am going to try to get my old ones back, (plugs) but i doubt that will happen....i need to get some irdium plugs, and i think this code will be history
PO137 o2 sensor low volume......ya got me ive checked all vacume hoses, egr sprayed brake cleaner around the intake etc, and found no leaks. but in my opinion, there is too much air comming into the engine, and not enough fuel. I should note, i DONT have a super charger
P1171 Fuel System Lean During Acceleration i dont know on this one either, but this is the noticeable one that i miss. i have no passing power, bogs down trying to go up hill while accelerating. i havent had ANY problem with acceleration till after i got the vx back from my timing belt/head replacement
so, as in the other threads ive read, do you think the root code thrower is the 1171, which causes the other codes?? im taking the vx back, AGAIN, to the shop but want to know as much as possible. im sure they will try to pass it off as nothing they did, but i want to know for myself befor i take it in.
again, i hear HUGE amounts of air, but have sprayed brake cleaner all around the intake, airbox, maf, throtle body, and no change in the engine speed.
and i DONT have a bad idle. it runs really well at idle, its just going down the road, i have no "punch" and im getting AWFULER gas milage, really really awful......
as always, you all are the best of the best, of all the car forums i am, and have been in, this by far is the friendlyest, most helpful, caring, funny group of people ive been associated with online, and real world
THANKS A BAZILLION MILLION
PS. im also very worried about burning up a piston.......i am keeping all my driving under 50 mph at this time. only punch it during diagnostics should i worry like i am???
