We have a winner!
P0171, Bank 1 lean, Fuel Trim Maxed Out. Nice I'm lean burning Just wish I knew the real AFR, so I could see if I was in danger, Oh well, these engines are cheap enough, LOL! Took a week for the SES to come on. I guess the computer was determined to get it right. The crazy thing is, it just seems to get better and better. Probably I'm just learning to drive it better lean. It can take a bit more throttle and not kill the mpg's and it takes more throttle to climb the hills. Also, I just did 47mpg on the way home yesterday, that's as good as I did on summer gas in 90 degree weather. Now it's winter gas and 50 some degrees. Wish I had found this in the summer. Now to get the HAI hooked up and some more aero mods and this winter may be better than summer Horray for Vacuum Leaks!
