Engine Light And Codes
 

My check engine light came on yesterday and i took it in to get the codes pulled and this is what they got. #P0171B, and P0 #170, they said it's a a air intake leak, but they need to run a few tests to find out exactly what. Anyone have experience with these codes. They said it should be fine to drive for a few days but the car will run rich. Think I will be okay to wait untill friday to get it looked at? I only have a 10 min drive to school, but I want to take the car to my usual shop an hour away is it worth it or should I get it down right away. Tahnx guys.

check them yourself using my how to in the step by step section.
I dont like those P0### codes

I agree with pdiggs. I dont even know what those PO#blah blah codes are. If its a an intake leak, your idle should be sluggish. If that's the case, check all your vacuum lines and retorque the intake manifold bolts....

I'm gunna try and check it pdiggs way tomorrow (friggin cold outside) when the car is idleing it drops down to around 100 rpm. But when checking the code do I put the paper clip in the blue connector from your pic pdigg. Also what did you mean by right type of paper clip. Thanx guys.

Certain clips do not conduct currents. If you have a bit of electrical wire, its a better choice.

Cool Thanx buddy.

heh i always keep a 2" piece of wire and a CEL code sheet in my car, just in case it throws one when i'm out and about.

hell, thats a good idea (cel sheet)! I've memorized several of them, and carry a wire...but damn dude I am definately following your move and making a sheet :thumbsup:!

got mine already.... been carrying mine a few months after I installed my turbo

I just carry around my obd scanner
