Said GTP might have been knocking? Tired transmission? Crappy long gears...driver mod, etc.

P0171 is a vacuum leak, my piont somewhat proven. Enjoying the crappy MPG's? I know I was with a P0171.

Put a new bulb in it?

**dmahlikGT** · 10-12-2011

Yea i know just havent got around to doing that.Does that involve me ulling apart the dash? It seems like it and thats why i havent really did this yet.

**blueguy** · 10-12-2011

Yeah, but its just 4 bolts after you pop the plastic crap off.

**dmahlikGT** · 10-12-2011

Hmm ok. Ill get that done sooner or later.

Like other people have said a ported throttle body would be a good option. You could also get a ported rear manifold from ZZP and a ceramic coated crossover. You may want to get a larger exhaust although the stock exhaust should be fine for the current mods. You could always get a GT2 cam rather than a GT1 unless you dont have money to get a tune. I believe a dyno tune from ZZP is only about $150

Why is a ported TB a good option?

It does nothing for gains really.

Ceramic coated crossover is a waste of money, its a 3800...the motor is going to get stupid hot regardless, and the rear manifold is the LEAST of the 3800's bad exhaust issues...see U-BEND, FRONT MANIFOLD CASTING, DOWNPIPE.

Larger exhaust piping is also a waste because the factory catback is good for 300+ FWHP before it becomes a flow restriction. If you want a different noise, change the mufflers and tips. Like I stated before, the GT1 and GT2 are nearly identical...also, get a custom in car tune...they are better than ANY canned tune.

i thought P0171 is System Too Lean (Bank 1) (too much oxygen in the exhaust)

anyways i adjusted my maf tables and the code went away and hasnt come back since. i havent notice the worse mpgs since it doesnt take me long to wherever i need to go

No, system one bank lean means a vacuum leak.

Find it and fix it.
