Rough Idle & P0171 + P0174. Vacuum leak?
Been having both P0171 and P0174 CEL's on the car, with a very rough idle, backfiring (quite fun), performance loss and a weird hiss when I turn the engine off. The hiss may be normal but I've never noticed it before.
Here's the rough idle (it shows the exhaust later on so you can hear it clearer - I have bypass pipes so it's supposed to sound throaty like that, I haven't got a blow in the exhaust!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JDbdLx9e4U And here's the hiss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3yYn-_a2Sc Is that hiss normal? If not, vacuum leak? I can't see any obvious vacuum leaks in the engine bay. I've ordered two new O2 sensors anyway, but I was hoping I'd see an obvious pipe disconnected in the engine bay. The throttle body pipe was totally loose (I could move it with my hand), but after tightening it, it hasn't made any difference. Help! |
Those 2 codes are referencing both banks 1,2 lean condition. Hissing does sound to be most likely vacuum leak after the maf. Did you check the hoses between the T and plenum? You are most likely introducing unmetered air thru a leak

I'm going to take the engine cover off behind the seats to get a front-on look at the engine to see if I can see anything else. The other thing is that I may be chasing a leak that doesn't exist. The sound could be normal, and it could be something else causing the codes and rough idle. What could it be? |
Does the engine run differently if you remove the oil filler cap?

I couldn't take the oil cap off while the engine was running, and after stopping it, removing it, then re-starting it, the engine ran like crap - so that looks okay.
The hissing is coming from around that area, and it seems like it's coming from underneath the resonator tube (underneath the tube in the photo). There's a bunch of vacuum lines under there, so hopefully it'll just be something that's popped out. I'm going to remove the resonator tube when I get a free day, and will check all the rubbers and tubes. That, with the new O2 sensors (they're 15 years old anyway), should do the trick. |
*resonance tube, not resonator tube.

If you couldn't get the oil cap off while the engine was running you have a failing AOS. Get it replaced before you destroy the engine.

- Intake system air leak - Low fuel pressure - Low fuel volume - Bad fuel injector(s) - AOS failing - Oil filler cap leaking or oil fill tube cracked and leaking |

Would a faulty AOS cause a vacuum leak? |

Thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated. Glad that the AOS is most likely the issue - it makes total sense. The hiss on a second look does actually come from that area, and with the lean codes, the immovable oil cap, the oil around the AOS pipe and the rough idle, it all points to it.
Will let you know how I get on, will order it in the next week or two :) Thanks again! |
