OB99W Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) A P0170 code indicates that the ECU ''thinks'' that it can't compensate enough to obtain a proper A/F ratio, as determined by O2 sensor data. That could be caused by any of a number of things. Leaks in the exhaust system before or immediately after the front O2 sensor is one possibility. Another is intake vacuum leaks (bad gaskets, cracks, damaged or misconnected hoses). Improper fuel pressure regulation (FPR itself, or vacuum to it) can cause this, as can air flow sensing problems (dirty or bad MAF or MAP, depending on what you've got). Wrong engine coolant temp sensor data is another possibility. Edited November 24, 2009 by OB99W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
