i know the two are running lean... the other i read has something to do with random misfires. I'm going to change the plug and wires tomorrow. that should clear that up but what about the other codes?? any suggestions of how to fix those up???

plus i was taking a peliminary look under the hood today and noticed the 2 black hoses that are hooked up to the UIM, and one of them seems to be cracked right where it connects to the IM. Like right off.... could that be the cause of any of these codes?? is it easy to replace?? i took a quick look and couldn't really figure how to do it.

thanks in advance.


You hit it on the nail.

P0171 and P0174 probably due to the cracked hose. And the P0300 is probably due to the spark plugs or wires.
