I have had the check engine light on for a while. When I check the codes it says P0171 - System too lean. I get this code on both banks. I took the car to a dealer who told me I needed new intake manifold gaskets for $300. I told him thanks for the info, paid him his $75 check out charge and replaced the gaskets myself. Three days later the same code came back on.
Got a free check engine coupon from a different dealer and he told me that the intake manifold needed removed so they could clean the egr passiges. When I do the suck test the car immediately stumbles so I don't think there is anything wrong with the egr.
Why is it that I agree with the term stealership?
Anyone want a '99 Cougar V6-MTX in excellent shape for $5000? Make me an offer.
