Hi Guys,

I had a CEL for about 4 months and was pulling my hair out till BLUP
told me to get an Equus codes reader and see if I get and P1171 and sure enough I did. He this happened to him and it was his MAF. He replaced his and all is well and I replaced mine and all is well. [ $162 at Brentwood ]

Moral of the story. P1171 = new MAF and I'm sure more and more will be popping up as times goes on. I also have a hunting idle. Rich over at Bay13 feels it is probably the Electronic Throttle Module that needs a clean. We don't have the traditional throttle bodies that our cousins have on the 98's and older. Our Fly by wire technology is a whole different ballgame and I think the bugs will rise up pretty soon.

Still to chicken to do it as you may have to remove to radiator fan to get at the little ETM and it's intake using some carb cleaner on a rag. Will wait till more BBer's do the cleaning and get the procedure down. Can be tricky.
