I'm trying (and have religiously searched) to get to the end of the last of the emissions codes on my new old D2 (2000). Starting with 9 codes I'm down to the lean codes, P1174 and P1171. Thus far I have:
When I spray the engine with carb cleaner I get no idle change near any ring, clamp, or hose, so I'm finally confident the engine bay isn't the source of a vacuum leak. Today I checked the evap back to the fuel tank and removed the cover from over the tank. The fuel pump is obviously leaking from the top, or was at one point recently, and the top of the fuel pump assembly is covered in some kind of undried glue. I'll be replacing the pump as soon as it comes in.
Given the pump is junk and lets gas out I have to assume it lets air in, which perhaps is causing the lean issues, in addition the pump could simply be producing insufficient pressure. Other thoughts? The only condition I noted recently was the cruise control wavers, but I can't find a leak in those hoses.
Another related question - does the little "third port" under the brake booster and cam box vapor connection do anything? Mine is capped, I see many of them capped off in pictures.
Thanks in advance
- Replaced the o-rings and plenum gasket
- Smoke tested and fixed various clamps and hoses (the brake booster and cam box ones were leaking)
- Replaced the MAF
- Replaced all plugs
