P0171 code after intake gasket change.

**bocou92** · 01-27-2013

this is what happened...

while changing intake gasket, the rubber T that connects the vacuum lines broke and so i rigged a new one <- might be the cause
when pulling out fuel rail and injectors, some wierd plastic piece on bottom after the o-ring broke. no leak cold be found.

right after the intake gasket change, ran car for a good 40mins with no engine light. this mornin it comes on. also got a clicking sound coming from alternator. think i need a new one?

please help me with this retarded P0171 code

injector tabs breaking dont matter. But yeah you have a vac leak somewhere.

alrigth so replace all vac lines and T connector?

**Scottydoggs** · 01-27-2013

i replaced these vac lines and both T's.

and the line on top of the TB was cracked as well. so i used a fat vac line to a smaller line that would fit inside the fat line, then to the plastic stock line, this line runs to the evap off the back of the sc.

that vac lines goes inside the cars cab to the dash. it controls the fan directions. huge vac leak lol.

look behind the engine for it, thats where i tossed mine when doing the lim gaskets.

and your car ran smoothly with that off?

it did! for 40 mins straight. but the idle seems lower. idles at 900 instead of 1200. also if i rev it to 2000 or 2500 and release peddle, tach goes to 1500 and idles for 3 secs and slowly goes to 900
