Hi Raddy,

Does it have a code with the error message? The codes are usually more helpful than the descriptions!

OK, it's possible someone may be able to answer with the description you gave. I'm just used to the fault codes that's all!

Just done a quick search on code lists for `fuel trim' - came up with

• 2882 Fuel Trim Bank 1

• 2883 Fuel Trim Bank 2

Doesn't mean anything to me but it may help.

I can imagine that's wearing thin.. I'm guessing its going to be one of the sensors, but not 100% sure myself...

These might help:

I think the first course of action is to rule the P0170 code out as the cause, I.e. Check for obvious leaks etc in the intake and vacuum systems.

 

[Raddy]

Can you elaborate on the vacuum system part as I'm flying blind here , thanks

Any and all rubber hoses around the induction and cylinder head covet and plenum chamber, fetch them off, check for cracks and splits
