Hello, first post here. A brief rundown of the Contour:
140+K miles, car runs excellent. I just finished repairing the EGR system including new EGR valve, pressure differential sensor, replaced the vacuum lines on the sensor and removing the throttle body and cleaning the EGR ports. I believe cleaning the ports would have been the only job necessary to clear the code I was getting for the EGR system but I am new to the car and it is going to my daughter so while my hands were dirty I did everything my OCD told me to do.
Now my current code problem:
I ran the car for about 100 miles and CEL came on and I pulled the code and got "P1151-manufacturer controlled fuel and air metering". I/M monitors show all applicable systems ready except "EVAP". Reseaching here and elsewhere tells me to replace the the 02 sensor which I will do.
My question:
Can these two problems be related or are they independent of one another?
Through all of this I must repeat that the car runs great showing no signs of a vacuum leak.
Thank you, Keith
