CEL light on! First time.

Sorry BruceLee, didn't mean to offend with the title, just a slang term

The code Autozone gave me was P1130 fuel air metering. They turned the CEL light off and it has stayed off so far...

The guy at Autozone mentioned a vacuum leak. What does this entail? Looks like I get to test that extended warranty.

Not a problem.

Thanks for understanding.

With any of the O2 or possible MAF related codes (like the P1130), it's likely safe to clear it and observe. To be proactive, you could probably pop out your MAF and clean it up. I cleaned mine last weekend, and it only took 30 minutes or so.

I had a P1129 in January or February... cleared it, and about 5000 miles later, it hasn't come back.

After searching on here and at renntech for the P1130 code, it seems to me that 90% of the posts mention the MAF. I think I'll try cleaning it this weekend, just to be proactive, but I need to get the security torx bits and MAF cleaner. Can I just use the stuff in the spray can I pick up at any auto store?

It has to be electrical parts cleaner... they sell it at any autoparts store. The torx.... thats harder to find... you can try napa and sears.

you do not use electrical parts cleaner but the MAF spray cleaner made by CRC. you can get a can from autozone or pep boys. you need to call around for the security torx bit....they sell at sears, sometimes napa or harbor freight.

Crap... sorry, my mistake, MAF cleaner, thats what i bought to clean my MAF... its right next to the electrical parts cleaner LOL
