K, well, my story might sound complicated but probably comes down to something simple.
About 2-3 months ago I had a new clutch installed in my car. When they installed it they found the VSS wires were melted onto the headers (I believe thats where). They had no choice but to break the wires to install it. So I ended up having a CEL code P0500 "Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction". So after a few months, I finally got the VSS replaced.
After it was replaced the CEL did not go out. I figured after a few days of driving it should go out, if not I'll reset it. Well it didnt go out so I brought it to Auto Zone and had them read the codes and clear them. But this time, they pulled codes:
P1518 Intake Manifold Runner Control (Stuck Open)
P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
P1151 Lack Of HO2S21 Switch - Sensor Indicates Lean
So they cleared the codes. Drove it for a few hours and no CEL. Parked the car and next time I started it, it was back on. I brought it back and pulled only 1 code this time, P1518.
I have a few questions.
1. I shouldn't have a concern about the VSS CEL anymore right, it just didnt clear itself?
2. P1151 code did not come back after a few days of driving. Should I worry about it at all or was it just a fluke one time thing?
3. What is involved in fixing the Intake Manifold Runner Control? I'm not a mechanic so I know very little. Is there a how-to for this or should I just have someone who knows what there doing fix it?
