so for some reason my car keeps throwing that code...which means running rich in bank 1

and my tuner said there isnt really anything he can do except for me to drive it and drive it until the fuel trims level themselves out?

what do u guys think?

what else could be causing this problem>


and if anyone else has gotten this code, wat did u do to fix it?

 

what engine management are you using? running too rich means that the primary o2 is seeing too rich of a mixture coming out of the engine...

it could be a tune issue or a sensor issue... more information is needed

 

im running a aem fic.... ive been tuned by 2 diff ppl (not my choice) and thats the only code that pops up....

 

its probably your o2 spoofing... who has tuned it?

 

well i live in the sf bay area and take my car out to modacar to get it tuned.....

but i came out 2 az a coupkle days ago...and i removed my battery and my tune disapeared... so i took it to dynocomp in scottsdale 2day to have them tune it.....and my afrs idle at 13.2 - 14.5 ....but before they idled at 14.3 - 15.5

 

if you can, give UMS Tuning a call. Tony knows how to tune an F/IC to spoof the primary o2 on the tCs...

 

recirc your bov because sometime too much air is vented to atmosphere cause a rich condition Tc have very sensitive sensors. I had same problem and my tuner said the same thing like u, so I recirc it., and it fix the problem. ( IF u have BOV)

 

the primary reason you are having this cell pop up is cause the fuel map is not in line with your 02 map...what i mean is the fuel map is adding more fuel than what the 02 map is trying to cover up in a sense...i would start with your fuel map and in the cells under 14.7-15 psia try leaning it out...start small...it will help if you have a scangauge2 and view your long term and short term fuel trims...the closer to 0 you get on the scangauge the better off you are.

 

i used to get this code in my car do i still do from time to time usually when in cruise and going up hill ill tag a 10 afr for a second or 2 and pop there goes the light some times it just goes away i have a check engine light on non stop from my 2 step throws a p0000 code lol but fix the o2 map and it will work spot on

 

yeah my tuner said try recirc my BOV... but i like the sound of the atmospheric dump... lol so ill live with it haha

 

I recirc'd my BOV and I still get the p0172... and the p0136. I have to do as Crush said and match up maps better... I just don't care to

 

little late on that one bro

 

Yes, yes... I suppose so

 

ahh sorry i totally forgot about this post...

i think the reason im getting this code is because i have a leak flange leak...

 

soooo and exhoust leak before or after your wideband? what was your wideband readings?
