I have a P0171 code that's giving me fits. Can you help me?
What is your question?
I'm experiencing a "pending" P0171 code that'll turn on the check engine light. I have done some testing and have results. All of these are at Idle position: LTFT 24% STFT hovering around 0 to -3%, Intake manifold pressure 24" hg, new O2 sensors .5V and cleaned MAF sensor. The MAF sensor moves with RPM very well. The MAF is running about 3.5 g/s at 680 rpm. I still have to test my MAP sensor but I don't expect that to be bad. I want to know if I'm on the right track? If the MAP sensor test's between 1 and 5 volts then I know it's getting the correct information. The last question is, when I do an emisions test the catalyst, evap, the O2 sensors (sometimes) and the O2 sensor heater prove incomplete or failed; is this a result of a weak battery and if so, could this be causing a problem of the 0171 code?
What makes this problem better or worse?
In idle is usually when the pending code triggers
