Odds and Ends, some help.... |
Subject: Odds and Ends, some help.... by jsup on 2008/5/13 23:07:13 Ok, I'm working on the odds and ends..... I was washing the car the other day and my son decided he was wash the engine since I had the hood up. Well, now I'm getting a Check Gauges light that goes on and off on occassion. No indication of anything wrong. At first, the tach didn't come up after he wet it, within seconds it is working fine. Next, I'm' getting a code 44, lean condition, at idle evidenced by the SES light. I bumped the fuel pressure from 43 to 45. I am on the ragged edge of lean as the light goes out as soon as I start driving, it only goes on at a light. I figure it's an exhaust leak, or fuel pressure. There is no exhaust leak that I can tell. Can the advanced timing, 10* effect the lean mix? I am running the NGK plugs, heat range 8, they look lean when I pull them out. Would a plug that is too hot cause a lean condition. I can ramp the timing back to 6*, but I would rather solve it here, if that is even a problem. What do you think? Suggestions? |
