Code P0171 and bad acceleration


Recommended Posts

My check engine light came on last week so I took it to autozone and they said it was p0171. So I started looking on the forums to try and figure out what is was. Today on my way back from class it started randomly having a hard time accelerating. I would put it in gear and give it gas and the RPM's would jump to 4k until I let of the gas. I could only get it to accelerate by slowly depressing the pedal. I would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks

Vacuum leak somewhere after the maf sensor. Look for any disconnected vacuum hoses, under the intercooler is a common place for them to get disconnected. If there are no disconnected vacuum lines, there's extra air getting into the engine somewhere, worn gasket, etc.
