Now here's what I was not expecting.
Sensors in the standard postition and all codes cleared. I take the car out for a good thrash and keep the foot down and ...
wahey the EML light re-appears...
0420, 0430 you're thinking?
Nope :-/
Bloody 0170 and 0173 again.
Now that points me back to low fuel pressure, dirty filter, lazy fuel pump or air leak.
On the other hand, that still leaves the distinct prossibility (probability) that moving the sensors did work, because I haven't had a single 0420 or 0430 whilst they were back there.
So I need to solve these 0170 & 0173 fuel trim issues on both sides 1
st then once I have that settled then I need to start looking at moving the O2 sensors back again.
Or is there some possibility that after having the codes cleared (Cheapo TechII) that there was some residual effect of the "long term fuel trim" readings left in the system that has caused the recurrence of the fault code? All he did was "CLEAR ALL DTS CODES".
Any ideas on where to start? I suppose it is the same answer(s) of "change the fuel filter" and then "get the fuel pressure checked" isn't it?
