runnin lean????

well i drove after i cleaned it and drove it to wrk and drove it back home for brake so thats 3 times and it hasent come back on yet so lets hope it stays that way

 

[martinr69]

Well hope that fixed it, mine will be getting the fuel filter on tomorow morning. So let's hope this does it for me as well.

 

[big-j]

iv drove it probably 5 or 6 times so far and no cel hope the fuel filter fixes yours. did you clean the maf your self?

 

[martinr69]

Yes I cleaned in myself. Went up to the local auto parts store and bought some MAF sensor cleaner. Sprayed out couple of times and let it dry, and as soon as I drove it for the second time the light came back on. The guy who did my CHT sensor said that he would bet that it's the fuel filter. We will find out tomorow, if it does come on I will not have a clue what the issue is unless the MAF is bad but then I would get a code for that.

 

[big-j]

huh mine hasnt come on since i cleaned it how many miles you got on your car???thats crazy we both havin the same prob got 05 black stang bout the same mods and we both live in ohio

 

[martinr69]

Yeah that's werid that we have that in common. But what would be even better than that is is you live in Columbus lol.. I have 74,000 miles bought the car last year in march. So I have not done the fuel filter so it maybe the issue, but it's getting done in the next hour.

 

[big-j]

oh mines only got 41000 so ya the fuel filter was probably the problem my buddy wrks at one of them buy her pay here dealerships and he said whenever a newer ford comes in with the cel on they replace the fuel filter and it fixes it hopefully it wrks for you to . ya i got a buddy thats lives in columbus i live about 4or 5 hours away sumthin like that.

 

[martinr69]

Well like I said I hope this is it. In the last three weeks I have replaced the O2 sensors, CHT sensor and the fuel filter. Got it on and now just reseting the computer to put the BBr tune on. So my fingers are crossed

 

[martinr69]

Well after the fuel filter went on and computer cleared no Code as of now. After three drive cycles nothing is poping up. The drive home from work will be the test since that's when it did it the last time.

 

[big-j]

sweet thats good. whats the cht sensor???

 

[martinr69]

Cylinder head temp sensor. It sits right underneath the intake, it basically lets you know that your cylinder heads are getting hot.. It was a code P1290 just in case you get it

 

[06z28eater]

im getting code p0171 and p1000, i cleared them and after about 3 days, about 100 miles, they came back. im gonna do the fuel filter change monday, car has 42k on it

 

[martinr69]

what is the P1000 code? never seen that one

 

[Franchi]

Dunno about P0171 code but P1000 is a PCM not ready condition. It should clear on its own after a full drive cycle I believe.

 

[big-j]

i would clean the maf off to mine with 41k was dirty it didnt look to dirty untill i cleaned it

 

[big-j]

well my cel just came on agan with the same danm codes

 

[martinr69]

well my cel just came on agan with the same danm codes

Change the o2 sensors and then see what happens. Did mine with fuel filter and going on day two with out the code knock on wood...

I've heard that it's a smart idea to disconnect the battery so the computer can re-learn the idle & fuel trims when you do the o2 sensors.

Just throwing that out there in case you didn't do that when you changed them.

I changed the O2 sensors and cleared the computer and still got the code. Did the fuel filter cleared the computer and reinstalled the tune. And day two with no code so he may want to do the sensors.

 

[dysan]

I'm saying you should disconnect the battery after or while you are doing the sensors.
