The Infamous P0171 and P0174 codes troubleshooting
alright, lately i have been experiencing this issue, i have taken out the MAF sensor, cleaned it with MAF Cleaner and also even tried replacing the MAF. The same codes show up. i have done a quick scan of some hoses and cant seem to find anything, there are no noises either. What are some problematic areas for the 2000 4.0l and if anyone else was experiencing this problem please share thanks.

there is THIS sticky in the 4.0 section, not sure if the same applies to your ohv engine, though... I'd still have a good look at all the connections between the hoses and what not under the hood.

Had the same problem for months. I changed the MAF sensor twice (No, I didn't pay for two of them. One was a return) , changed 02 sensors, changed air filter frequently (like that was causin it lol), and changed out rotten vaccum hoses. Only to find out that it was my pcv valve and I had to go buy the whole pcv valve kit.

haha wow, maybe that should be where i check next. Where exactly is the pcv valve? and i've already checked the sticky and its not the same as mine

Driver side of the manifold on the back. I'll try and post a pic.
---------- Here you go. If it doesn't look like this get back on here and let me know. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y28/OneBad93/pcv.jpg |
Re: The Infamous P0171 and P0174 codes troubleshooting
yeah, the sticky (and those codes) are related to the pcv system, so it's very possible that the valve is bad, even given the different setup. If its still throwing codes after a new valve, or if the valve checks out ok, check all the hoses related to the pcv system, and their connectors for cracks/tears, etc.

i have found it, thanks. I could pull it out fairly easily is this ok? i had also looked at the tubing and it seemed fine.

I had the same codes on my 99 4.0 and I replaced the upper plenum gasket and retorqued the lower intake bolts ... They were only hand tight. It fixed my problem with the lean codes.
|
Vacuum clamp all vacuum lines and see if that helps 5\16 clamps fit just right they can be purchased from the hardware store.
|
Also make sure all additional vapor lines are clamped and free from cracks and holes, for example evaporative emissions lines, positive crankcase ventilation lines, and make sure the air intake manifold T 30 bolts are torqued to the correct specifications 89 in lbs is what the Haynes manual gives.
|
It also helped to count rpms starting at the top going down until I could settle on the correct rpm range. Intake air temperature may come into play here too. The air box mod if it was done to your vehicle will trigger this code. So try not to change the intake air temperature with fresh air it may create enough of a change to trigger the check engine light

First of all you need a sig so we are know what you have. Second have you looked at the stickies on the lean codes? Those would be very helpful if you read thru it.
