Yeey! Fault code!

[qtek16]

over the weekend i threw a code.

the code was for the car running lean in the fuel trim bank 1. Fault 17545
system to lean p1137-35-00.
Did a few things, cleared it now waiting to see whats up.
Any suggestions in the meantime?

Have you changed your spark plugs lately?

[qtek16]

yess sir ;) changing those coppers quite frequently.

[mike-2ptzero]

Check your fpr vac line, when those start to leak they do cause a lean issue at part throttle if your in boost.

[qtek16]

will do. is there just one comming off of it? cant remember

[k0mpresd]

yes, theres just one line for the fpr

check any of the braided hoses on and around your engine, they crack/tear over time

if all hoses check ok and your dbw then a maf would be a good place to start

[qtek16]

yeah i have been wanting to change those braided lines just havent had the time. wouldnt it be a code related to the maf if it was that?

You will only get a maf code if the maf ic completely dead, this will be in the form of a "low maf voltage".

If the maf is starting to die out causing the g/s readings to get lower, this can cause the car to go lean.

[qtek16]

what is the norm for the maf readings? i have it all logged just have to go back and look

[nizmosx]

Hey could this be caused by installing the maf backwards while installing the intake, i dont think you installed it wrong but its just a sugestion. take a look

[qtek16]

haha come on nizmo! im not that dumb haha. jp. yeah i even double checked that, and made sure all things were connected and fully tightened down. ;) i knew that would make u happy haha

i had the same code, was running lean and stalling. took out MAF cleaned it with carb cleaner, and let it air dry. problem went away and CEL also went away.................


my problems are with a possible timing belt failure for now..........good luck with your car though.

[qtek16]

im not stalling which is good haha for now anyway. i thought cleaning it could mess it up worse

[boostedup]

nope, just use carb cleaner, and make sure to let it air dry, do not us an air compressor or anything like that as the MAF has small fibers which can get messed up using compressed air............

[qtek16]

where did u pick that carb cleaner up at?

[boostedup]

any auto parts store, even wal-mart has it

[qtek16]

just what like a spray can and spray it on it? i dont wanna screw it up i know how sensitive it is
