    Questions about power steering leaking in reservoir.

    Would a leaky cap or leaking reservoir cause foam or frothy PS fluid? My PS whines like crazy n froths up, I replaced the cap, but I’m still getting some kind of leak from the reservoir, I put white tap around the upper o ring lip and doesn’t appear to be leaking from there, I think it might be...

    VSV and VCV delete under upper intake, i have a few questions.

    So, found out I have a leak in the plenum gasket, I’m pulling the upper off when i get the parts in, but under there I know are a bunch of VSV and VCV, I know some are related to ERG, I was getting the code a while back but did the resistor fix and now don’t really need a lot of these under...

    Needing some help with P0171 code

    So….. think I finally found my cause, is a bad intake gasket, the upper to lower. Here is what happened, ordered new silicone hoses, replaced all the hoses, now the trim jumps to 19.5% immediately at idle, levels out to like 1-4% while driving. So got some carb cleaner and started spraying...

    Needing some help with P0171 code

    so I reset the ECU or PCM, my truck is re-learning, took about 15 mins of driving to get the fuel trims to show up. STFT- between 0-7% at idle, usually negative number while driving, LTFT is at 30% while at idle and around 8% while driving. From my understanding the positive percentage is the...

    Needing some help with P0171 code

    So a little update, cleaned the MAF checked again for leaks, cleaned all the contacts on the MAF connector, sprayed around with starter fluid, no revs, did a smoke test, nothing obvious, I did find the PCV grommet was a cheap Chinese POS and torn! Replaced it and ordered a new PCV. While the...

    Needing some help with P0171 code

    Only 1 landy in Abq at the yard, and it’s been gutted! Lol. Reminds me when they had a 04 Corvette and I went there to get some trim pieces, I got there and it was literally the completely gutted frame and the empty cab, I did the smoke test. No leaks, which vacuum are u talking about the brake...

    Needing some help with P0171 code

    Above are the clips I’m missing, I added some fuel treatment to the truck, while I was waiting for my kiddo to get outta school I did notice a pretty good idle stumble, happened a few times, seems like maybe a misfire but no codes came up, but the idle would fluctuate about 100-200 rpms like it...

    Needing some help with P0171 code

    Ya I was worried it might be the harness, bc what cleared it the first for me was I noticed a kink in the harness from the wall to the MAF, I re-soldered the wire n re-secured the wires n wrapped them in heat shield n the code went away for 6 months. I’m replacing my radiator, fan clutch, n all...

Size etc? Biggest leak is from the...

    Needing some help with P0171 code

    Ya I’m gonna do another smoke test, and clean the MAF today, I was watching a video some guy says he was getting pressure in his tank, when he opened up the fuel cap would here pressure release, mine does that too, he said it was causing lean running bc it created a vacuum in the tank, he...
