I have searched and read alot, so hear me out please.

P0174 - front bank lean = could be vacume leak, bad MAF, ect. What I am experiencing with this is great highway milage, extremely :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty city milage. So, can someone maybe help point me where to start looking? I have visually checked the lines and no cracks appear. Maf seems fine and so do all the connections.


Other problem.. Air bag light 23 or 32 (which ever).. I have read about this as well.. I'm leaning towards my clock-spring needing replacing as my horn and cruise does not work either.. Am I correct?

Thanks in advance -

Mike
 
As for the horn, check out the fuse. If your hazard lights don't work either, then you have a blown fuse. Fuses never should blow, so you might have a short in the system...As for P0174 you're already on the right track. Definitely check for vacuum leaks more carefully using carb cleaner, or even soapy water (in very small amounts :p), as you have just the P0174...

EDIT: Horn/Flashers: Fuse #12 - 15a (engine compartment fuse box)

Awesome guys, I have no horn and flashing airbag light. I love that we help each other fix these things ourselves. Guess I'm ordering a clockspring!!
