Ok look at my sig for the details on my car. I occationally through a CEL and the code is P0172 which is system to rich. Does anyone kno why my car would run to rich and what could fix it. Also my readiness codes are not set. I wanted to know if anyone knows how to set them. If you turn your car to the On position the CEL should go off after 20 seconds. Mine flashes 5times then goes off. according to the manual my readiness codes arnt set.

HELP! THANKS!

 

to bring this to the table from PM, in order to potentially make it searchable...i told Greg that it (the code) likely is from the intake or an installation faux pas screwing up the MAF values in some way, or, something that is very unlikely but possible, the oiled filter could have dirtied up the MAF. i am not sure though if that would yield such a code...

what i suggested is to return the intake side to stock, clear the codes, and see if the code comes back. if the stock intake was installed correctly, and the codes were reset properly, that directs you to somewhere else...

 

thanks built. i replyed to the pm but im not sure what the readiness codes represent. I did a few things and the CEL is off and has been off for 4days now but the readiness codes still are not set.

 

it might be the design of the intake that causes that. cuz i think the k&n has a bigger tube??

cuz we know that the aem will throw the system too lean code sometimes.

 

HUH ^^ thanks for the info. Ima keep an eye on the CEL.

yeah, it could be the intake as well. i have a aem cai and i never got the cel. once i got my dcrh is when i got a cel and then i put on the cel eliminator and she runs good without richness or leanness. good luck.

 

Sorry...I don't mean to jack the thread, but what are 'readiness codes'?

this should help...pulled it from a DOT site...

Readiness code—A status flag stored by a vehicle’s onboard computer which is different from a DTC in that it does not indicate a vehicle component or system failure, but rather indicates whether or not the component or system in question has been recently checked by the OBD system to determine if it is functioning properly.

thanks for teh definition . from how i understood it, im getting that the readiness codes are just telling me that i recently checked out the problem and that its not funtioning properly?
