I drove from Mobile, AL last night to Illinois and at about 520mi my service engine soon light came on. Oil Pressure is good and my temp gauge was normal any ideas.

 

gas cap. check and make sure it is on tight

 

Just checked it it seemed tight the guy from the service dept. said it shouldn't be a big deal if it's not flashing? If it was the gas cap it would take like 5 key cycles to go away. I don't care about the light I'm just a little scared cause I gotta drive 765 miles back home friday. I have non foulers and I've had my test pipes for almost 10,000 miles so it shouldnt be them right? Been doing some looking and I hope it's not an O2 sensor if it is would that be a bad thing to drive on for 700miles. Just a little worse gas mileage right?

 

Just get the code checked so you know what you're dealing with. You're flying blind when it comes to troubleshooting a potential problem.

 

Hey might sound stupid but is there any chance that it's because of my TPS. I have aftermarket rims and the light usually turns on when i'm on the interstate. Well both were on last night and now just ses? I say this becuase of another post about SES light and i guy listed the codes and that was one of them.

 

Just go to an autoparts store and pull the code. It could be anything.

 

First off, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems acronym is TPMS not TPS as you wrote. Secondly, TPMS won't trigger a CEL/SES. The code that the guy listed that said TPS was probably for Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).

 

Goto autozone man they will read it for, free.

 

Tomorrow morning I am, I looked all over in the town I was in and no parts stores. I made it home tonight and I am goin in the morning I'm pretty sure it's gonna be o2 sensors even though I have non foulers.

 

P1273 and P1283

 

P1273 Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor 1


DTC No.: P1273 (Bank 1) P1283 (Bank 2)
Trouble diagnosis name: Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 lean shift monitoring
DTC detecting condition: The output voltage computed by ECM from the A/F sensor 1 signal is shifted to the lean side for a specified period.
Possible Cause:

Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1

Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 heater

Fuel pressure

Injector

Intake air leaks

 

No leaks on the intake, is it becuase I have a short ram with the air vent? It's gettin a lot more air than stock so maybe now that it's cold out it's throwin a code. What should I do? Clean injectors?

 

?

 

I promise you its not from your intake hole and shortram. now for the rest idk, is your car idling funny or anything like that.

 

No, nothing acting up and it's driving and idleing fine. I just took my intake off because I'm gonna run it by the dealership tomorrow. I cleared the codes when I got back in town and they came back the same day so I cleared them again and now it's back. I was interstate driving the first two times and the third time I was on a residential street. I just don't want to end up with the dealer blaming it on my intake and voiding the work.

 

Maybe you should put your stock intake in, and if it's still giving you a code, THEN take it to the stealership because then they wont be like "z0mg wtf you have intake!11 thats why!1"

 

I took it to the dealership today tomorrow I'll know what is wrong.

 

this is almost certainly due to your mods

if you are not tuned you could be running a little lean/rich, or it may be related to your test pipes as well.

dealer won't be able to do anything about it, but they might try to charge you for new O2 sensors or some other BS.

 

I made it clear to them to not do anything that was going to be out of warranty and he seemed to understand, but last time i dropped it off at the dealer they charged me 190 dollars because a wire was cremped off the intake. Basically they electrical taped it and that was 190 dollars of work.

 

So they call me this morning and say the reason it is running lean is because of my dirty air filter. WTF kinda the opposite right, but I told them just to park it and I'll come get it. They say they are going to charge me 160 for a new filter install and reflash of "ECM". WHOA I said don't touch I'll be there soon and I get there and they make up some bull about a shop fee of 80$ that I was told about. When I dropped it off I made sure I wasn't going to be charged anything and he assured me of that. So I told him how that couldnt be what it was and I'm not paying because you don't know whats wrong so you make up that it's the air filter. They try to tell me that they can reflash my ECM he say I correct him by saying ECU and saying no you cant. I can reset it by just disconecting the battery for a few minutes and some smarta$$ says we have a 6000 dollar machine to do that son. I argued for a while and the service manager finally said she would make it where I only had to pay 45 dollars and at this point I didn;t care cause I was late for class. I should have listened to another member NEVER GO TO PAT PECK IN MOBILE AL.
