Re: Check Engine Light Woes. (vultron)
I had that same problem couple times, just go to dealership and have them reset it. And check your connection again. One time this happened to me because one of my battery terminal was loose
Now, there is one problem i'm having. It's been 3 months, 1 euro-only shop, 2 dealerships later, my DAMN CEL is still on. I tried having it resetted, but keep coming on. those shops dont want to dig for the problem because my cars got too much aftermarket stuff done.
okay, the print out says:
1 DTC recognized
16555 P0171 035
Fuel Trim,Bank1
System too Lean
Lean, eh? Okay, my car does buck slightly only when my engine is WARM, so it does fit the idea that it's running lean. a vacuum leak some where after the air sensor, hole only leak when it's big enough after expansion when warm, make sense right??
So I checked the other day, sure,one of the ring-with-bolt thingy that you screw to tighten was loose. I tighten that sucka up, pull the fuse for my engine maningment, and disconnected my battery, let that sit for a while and reconnected everything, double check everything. And I hoped I solved the problem, But the light remains on

It's been about 3 days now, I was hoping I could drive around and see if it will go off by itself (happened before, cross my fingers!!!) but it didnt yet.
What do you guys/gals think is going on?
Should I have the light resetted again, and see if it will come back on??
Oh another thing, I also just got cams, Schrick VGI, new lifters, gaskets, plug/wires, and new chip coded for the cams and vgi. Should I just wait and have all these put on and then deal with this problem??
