Need some help with my car.


Okay so yesterday I was on my way up to Kent and when I hopped on the freeway my car started misfiring and bucking, then the check engine light started blinking. So I pulled over and drove it home until I could get to O'Reilly's today to run a diagnostic. The diagnostic said Misfire On Cylinder 6 with a code of P0174 Too Lean Bank 2...

OBD-II Trouble Code: P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2)

PaladinMicro

I am going to try cleaning the MAF and cleaning my K&N and see if it does the trick...

Okay I'm going to bump this with an update and see if I get a response.

Update- Went around unplugging spark plugs and injector's, the only one that didn't change how it ran when it was unplugged was the #6 injector and spark plug (Of course) So I popped the spark plug out, tested the spark plug and coil and they both worked great, fired it up and it had great compression. Soooo next thing I did was put the spark plug back in and got a new injector figuring that I knew that was the problem. Installed the injector today and fired it up, it's still missing on number 6! So I took the injector out and tested it (Works great and I know the plug is working too)

So I'm kinda back to square one afte the spark plug, injector, cleaning the MAF, cleaning the TB, and testing all the connections with a test light.

Any Ideas?

I had this problem with my 2001 Lightning. Ended up taking it to HP Ranch in Marysville. All the truck needed was a tune.
I think I met you this summer in Centrallia, Your Cat-less and running E-85 right.
All I know is with my L running E-85 I had to take it back to my tuner for a new tune.
If you dont have a hand held, I can always meet you somewhere and you can load a tune off mine to see if it helps.

Yep. Catless, off road pipe, e85, and a few new things since then. You had the orange and black GT (Or was it a Mach?) I've seen it around a couple of times since then, but haven't seen you around since that one night when you bailed in Toledo lol. A tune would be awesome if you could get one and load it on my car. I am trying to get the car running good before I put it in storage while I go to Basic.

Army, all of my line scores were over 110 so every job the Army had to offer was open to me and I chose 21D which is Army Diver (You go through the Navy school for diving as does the Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines)

Its just a GT not a Mach. I'll see what I can do about a tune for ya.
Good luck in Diver school. I heard its pretty hard to pass. I'm currently active duty army stationed at Lewis. You should of went 11B. Its a hard job to beat. Who else will pay you to drive around and shoot at people.

Okay, shoot me a PM when you know. I had kinda thought about Airborne Infantry but there are not many jobs for driving around shooting people when you get out of the military lol...
