Default P0171, P0174 and scan tool readings

I have a 2005 Toyota Solara SLE, 133,000 miles, with P0171 and P0174
codes, lean mixture in both banks, and a check engine light that returns
soon after being cleared.

I've cleaned and then replaced the MAF sensor, replaced the PCV valve,
and listened all over for hissing. I have a constant noise in one ear,
like the sound of water running in a pipe, but I still think I'd be able
to hear hissing with the other ear, and even the bad one. I've also
used an unlit propane torch with a hose on the end to direct propane to
every place I thought there could be a vacuum leak and there are no
engine-sound changes.

I think cleaning the MAF sensor actually made it run worse. The
hesistation at 1mph, which was occasional, became frequent. Changing
the MAF sensor didn't have any effect.

These are the sensors readings, at idle, then at 2000, 3000, and 4000rpm
as best as I could hold the throttle at those places:

Below are the sensor 2 readings, I've included the Sensor 1 readings
below them, but they seem less interesting. Below that are a few sets
of trim readings, 2 or 3 at each rpm. I have the complete set of
readings if that will help, but I thought it would make this post too
long, and that intervals were easier to compare without the extra lines.

The MPH is always 0 but I could do it again with the car moving, with
someone helping if need be.

What's really noticeable to me is that Short Term Fuel Trim Bank
1-Sensor 2(%) is always N/A. Even though Bank 2 Sensor 2 gives
values at every interval. Does that indicate maybe that the Bank 1
sensor 2 has failed???? Could that cause the codes, even for bank 2?

I talked to the original owner, who had owned the car since it was new,
and she first got the CEL in March. She took it in, they could find
nothing wrong, so they turned off the light and she said the light never
went on again. She has no reason to lie to me, because I'd already
bought the car, and not from her. (She traded in the car to a new car
dealer who auctioned it and I bought if from the guy who bought it at
the auction.)

The car hesitates from 1mph. Probably not from 0 or 3mph or higher.

I'll really appreciate any help you can give.


Sensor 1 readings. From the same test, so the engine speeds are the
same as above. I omitted as much as possible to make it easier to
compare.

Every lean condition I've had was due to a leak in the intake system.
Have you tried any forums for the particular car/engine? Many times
there are particular problem parts that are known to fail and cause
a leak. For example on the BMW X5 here, it's a 4" diameter rubber
elbow that connects the intake ducting to the throttle body. It cracks
and leaks. You can't hear it, I've never found a vacuum leak by
sound. I've read stories of people buying fog/smoke making widgets
that were designed for special effects, using them to blow smoke
into the intake so you can see where it comes out. Might find one
of those on Ebay to adapt. I think there are pro version tools that
do similar, but I've never had to go that route to find the problem.

Have you tried any forums for the particular car/engine? Many times


Yeah, I have. Maybe it's the age of the car or maybe it's the make, or
maybe it's the people, but I don't get much in the way of answers for
any of my questions including this one. Sometimes 80 people will look
at it an no one will answer, and these are just people who have what
ever gen Solara I have and whatever gen Camry goes with it. Questions
about making the car look hot do better. I'll try again rephrasing it.

So I thought to come at it from the other direction, data
interpretation.

Maybe I can find newer cars that used the same engine, 3MZ-FE.

there are particular problem parts that are known to fail and cause
a leak. For example on the BMW X5 here, it's a 4" diameter rubber
elbow that connects the intake ducting to the throttle body. It cracks
and leaks. You can't hear it, I've never found a vacuum leak by
sound. I've read stories of people buying fog/smoke making widgets
that were designed for special effects, using them to blow smoke
into the intake so you can see where it comes out. Might find one
of those on Ebay to adapt. I think there are pro version tools that
do similar, but I've never had to go that route to find the problem.


That's an idea. I can imagine that even though the engine is not
running, not much would come out, considering the atmosophere is not
sucking like the engine is, but it still must work some of the time.

Try using some spray Berrymans carb cleaner and spray around the intake
and pcv hose and other vacuum hoses (etc.), if the engine RPM increases
you've found a vacuum leak.

I have a 2005 Toyota Solara SLE, 133,000 miles, with P0171 and P0174
codes, lean mixture in both banks, and a check engine light that returns
soon after being cleared.




On that car, with that combination of codes, 99.9% you have an intake
leak. 0.1% remaining, it's a bad primary O2 sensor.

Just saying - Pull the manifold and replace all of the seals. Common
problem

I've cleaned and then replaced the MAF sensor, replaced the PCV valve,
and listened all over for hissing. I have a constant noise in one ear,
like the sound of water running in a pipe, but I still think I'd be able
to hear hissing with the other ear, and even the bad one. I've also
used an unlit propane torch with a hose on the end to direct propane to
every place I thought there could be a vacuum leak and there are no
engine-sound changes.

I think cleaning the MAF sensor actually made it run worse. The
hesistation at 1mph, which was occasional, became frequent. Changing
the MAF sensor didn't have any effect.

These are the sensors readings, at idle, then at 2000, 3000, and 4000rpm
as best as I could hold the throttle at those places:

Below are the sensor 2 readings, I've included the Sensor 1 readings
below them, but they seem less interesting. Below that are a few sets
of trim readings, 2 or 3 at each rpm. I have the complete set of
readings if that will help, but I thought it would make this post too
long, and that intervals were easier to compare without the extra lines.

The MPH is always 0 but I could do it again with the car moving, with
someone helping if need be.

What's really noticeable to me is that Short Term Fuel Trim Bank
1-Sensor 2(%) is always N/A. Even though Bank 2 Sensor 2 gives
values at every interval. Does that indicate maybe that the Bank 1
sensor 2 has failed???? Could that cause the codes, even for bank 2?

I talked to the original owner, who had owned the car since it was new,
and she first got the CEL in March. She took it in, they could find
nothing wrong, so they turned off the light and she said the light never
went on again. She has no reason to lie to me, because I'd already
bought the car, and not from her. (She traded in the car to a new car
dealer who auctioned it and I bought if from the guy who bought it at
the auction.)

The car hesitates from 1mph. Probably not from 0 or 3mph or higher.

I'll really appreciate any help you can give.


Sensor 1 readings. From the same test, so the engine speeds are the
same as above. I omitted as much as possible to make it easier to
compare.

Place I'd give prime attention to is the intake plumbing between
the MAF and the throttle body. Anything there that's not rigid,
like that 90 deg elbow made out of rubber with bellows like creases
in it on my BMW is suspect. Make sure a connection hasn't come
loose at a clamp. Sometimes car repair manuals have a diagram
that shows all the vac hoses which is great, because you know where
they go, what they do, and you can then isolate, test, etc.

Also any history of any work that was done recently where something
could have been disturbed or not reconnected?

Yeah, that's what I did. I even put a hose on it so I could tell where
the propane was going, and I put it everywhere in the intake area two
pieces met, rubber, metal, whatever, but nothing changed the RPM.

I didn't want to use carb cleaner because the engine is almost spotless
now and I figured it left residue. Is carb cleaner going to work
better than propane?

What are the O2 sensor(s) readings?
Can your scanner read or map the O2 voltages?
If not then use your dvm on the leads.
Check when HOT! 2k-3k rpm.

Every lean condition I've had was due to a leak in the intake system.
Have you tried any forums for the particular car/engine? Many times


Yeah, I have. Maybe it's the age of the car or maybe it's the make, or
maybe it's the people, but I don't get much in the way of answers for
any of my questions including this one. Sometimes 80 people will look
at it an no one will answer, and these are just people who have what
ever gen Solara I have and whatever gen Camry goes with it. Questions
about making the car look hot do better. I'll try again rephrasing it.

So I thought to come at it from the other direction, data
interpretation.

Maybe I can find newer cars that used the same engine, 3MZ-FE.

there are particular problem parts that are known to fail and cause
a leak. For example on the BMW X5 here, it's a 4" diameter rubber
elbow that connects the intake ducting to the throttle body. It cracks
and leaks. You can't hear it, I've never found a vacuum leak by
sound. I've read stories of people buying fog/smoke making widgets
that were designed for special effects, using them to blow smoke
into the intake so you can see where it comes out. Might find one
of those on Ebay to adapt. I think there are pro version tools that
do similar, but I've never had to go that route to find the problem.


That's an idea. I can imagine that even though the engine is not
running, not much would come out, considering the atmosophere is not
sucking like the engine is, but it still must work some of the time.


Try using some spray Berrymans carb cleaner and spray around the intake
and pcv hose and other vacuum hoses (etc.), if the engine RPM increases
you've found a vacuum leak.


There is a TSB about this very issue from Toyota. A copy can be found

Well if it was good enough for him, I tried it a couple hours ago with
the engine idling, after I cleared the codes

I put my hand everywhere and couldn't feel any breezes.

I also tried squeezing all the hoses. None of them felt mushy or seemed
to be cracking, or seemed loose, or affected engine speed, and most look
like new. (Especially the large pleated? corrugated? hose between the
air cleaner and the plenum.)

Then I got in the car and drove. In the past it took no more than 10
miles to set the codes and for a while it would do it in 1 or 2 minutes
of idling. I forgot to look at pending codes until 6 miles out, and I
had not only the 0171 and 0174, but I also had 2198!!!

But after 4 more miles, there were no pending codes anymore, and no
actual codes. And after 10 more miles to get home, still no codes.

Plus, the engine doesn't seem to hesitate anymore, though maybe I
learned how to accelerate to avoid that, and it's hard to go back to a
style that was causing trouble. (If that's it, I"m sure over time, I'll
revert to my old style.)

There are a lot of hoses, but if this starts up again, I'll go through
them more slowly and more deliberately

Oh, I found out what p2198 means: "Stop squeezing my hoses."

*any*thing? Especially since it was 20 hours earlier.

If the codes come back after the stuff evaporates, I'll spray it again!

Also should mention that I used the tank with Techron fuel injector
cleaner in it, and yesterday I filled the tank and put a can of Sea Foam
fuel injector cleaner in it. But the car has always been able to do
70mph without stumbling, so doesn't that imply the fuel pump was good
and the injectors were clean enough?

I havent' tried to accelerate up a hill to that speed because I haven't
seen any hills.

Means bank 2 stuck rich.

What fuel are you running in it? Try a top tier fuel - preferably
SHELL - (just my experience) for a few tanks and see what happens. You
COULD have injector troubles.

If you had semi-blocked injectors it would run lean. If one cleared
and momentarily was jammed open, you could get a 2198 - and it could
have cleared everything - stranger things have happened.

This guy used carb cleaner. No luck. But he found the leak with his hand.

Well if it was good enough for him, I tried it a couple hours ago with
the engine idling, after I cleared the codes

I put my hand everywhere and couldn't feel any breezes.

I also tried squeezing all the hoses. None of them felt mushy or seemed
to be cracking, or seemed loose, or affected engine speed, and most look
like new. (Especially the large pleated? corrugated? hose between the
air cleaner and the plenum.)

Then I got in the car and drove. In the past it took no more than 10
miles to set the codes and for a while it would do it in 1 or 2 minutes
of idling. I forgot to look at pending codes until 6 miles out, and I
had not only the 0171 and 0174, but I also had 2198!!!

But after 4 more miles, there were no pending codes anymore, and no
actual codes. And after 10 more miles to get home, still no codes.

Plus, the engine doesn't seem to hesitate anymore, though maybe I
learned how to accelerate to avoid that, and it's hard to go back to a
style that was causing trouble. (If that's it, I"m sure over time, I'll
revert to my old style.)

There are a lot of hoses, but if this starts up again, I'll go through
them more slowly and more deliberately

Oh, I found out what p2198 means: "Stop squeezing my hoses."


Code p2198 means" Stop squeezing my hoses or I will sue you for hosual
harassment"

Actually it means "O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich Bank 2 Sensor 1"
https://www.yourmechanic.com/article...y-andrew-quinn

and this reminds me that last night I sprayed the base of the B2S1
sensor with PB Blaster, since changing the sensor woudl be easier and
changing the manifold gasket. I only sprayed where it screws in. I
saw what got wet and the top didn't. How could spraying the base affect
*any*thing? Especially since it was 20 hours earlier.

If the codes come back after the stuff evaporates, I'll spray it again!


Also should mention that I used the tank with Techron fuel injector
cleaner in it, and yesterday I filled the tank and put a can of Sea Foam
fuel injector cleaner in it. But the car has always been able to do
70mph without stumbling, so doesn't that imply the fuel pump was good
and the injectors were clean enough?

I havent' tried to accelerate up a hill to that speed because I haven't
seen any hills.

The Techron may have cleaned the injectors enough that they are no
longer running lean - and it may have happened suddenly enough that it
temporatily ran rich throwing the 2198. Might have been a problem
with the FP regulator too - fixed by the Techron.

Means bank 2 stuck rich.

What fuel are you running in it? Try a top tier fuel - preferably


I've been using the low octane Shell fuel. Almost all the time Shell.

SHELL - (just my experience) for a few tanks and see what happens. You
COULD have injector troubles.


I'll try it, but I will wait a bit to see if doing nother lets the codes
return.

Thanks.

If you had semi-blocked injectors it would run lean. If one cleared
and momentarily was jammed open, you could get a 2198 - and it could
have cleared everything - stranger things have happened.

I called it a spray but it was more like a stream**. I don't think I
hit anything else.

**Maybe that's why they call it blaster. Calling a spray "blaster" is
like calling a lamb "tiger".

What are the O2 sensor(s) readings?
Can your scanner read or map the O2 voltages?
If not then use your dvm on the leads.
Check when HOT! 2k-3k rpm.


I think this is what you mean:

Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)1.065
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.573
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.137
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.760
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)1.014
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.304
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)0.949
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)2.980
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.982
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.160
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)0.953
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.028
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.993
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.299
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.010
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.307
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.992
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.300
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.094
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.553
----------------------

So what they call voltages are more than zero and less than 12, and go
up and down around 3.1 to 3.6. So does that imply they are good?

I was going to take the connector apart and measure the resistance, but
it looked like I had to take off the air intake "funnel" first, and
then, it seems, the car started working right!

I went back and reread your original post.
All the numbers were there. I was my mistake for overlooking them.
The numbers look just fine. A bit on the rich side but that is probably
due to the low engine temp ~150F.
Don't really see anything wrong.

it looked like I had to take off the air intake "funnel" first, and
then, it seems, the car started working right!

Technically they oscillate between 0 and 5. The wider the swing the
better.

What are the O2 sensor(s) readings?
Can your scanner read or map the O2 voltages?
If not then use your dvm on the leads.
Check when HOT! 2k-3k rpm.


I think this is what you mean:

Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)1.065
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.573
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.137
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.760
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)1.014
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.304
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)0.949
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)2.980
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.982
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.160
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)0.953
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.028
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.993
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.299
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.010
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.307
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.992
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.300
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.094
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.553
----------------------

So what they call voltages are more than zero and less than 12, and go
up and down around 3.1 to 3.6. So does that imply they are good?

OOPS!!! normal O2 sensor between 1 and zero, late model Toyotas
(with wide band O2 sensor) 0 to 3.3

I went back and reread your original post.
All the numbers were there. I was my mistake for overlooking them.
The numbers look just fine. A bit on the rich side but that is probably
due to the low engine temp ~150F.
Don't really see anything wrong.


That's good. There must have been some vacuum leak, and I suppose it
will reappear**.


What I should do is use the scan tool to get the same sort of readings
when it's working right, and maybe I can find one or more values that
are different from when it was working wrong, and maybe if/when it
starts working wrong again, someone can sit in the car watching just
that/those values, and when I fiddle with the right hose, or blast the
right 02/fuel sensor, he's see the change and tell me.


**After all, it showed up in March when the previous owner had it, then
in October. The mechanic who looked at in March might have touched the
same hose or whatever I touched. Actually, the CEL and the VSC and
Trac*** lights were all on and they all went off a day or two after I
bought the car. Then when I was playing with the transmission, putting
it in first gear to go down a steep but short hill, the light went on
and it's been on almost all of the time since then.

***The owners manual says that the Trac (Off) light will come on when
the VSC light is on. But still, maybe I should have mentioned the other
two lights. I apologize, although I was only hurting myself.

I think this was a very good thread. Even if what I learned didn't
directly fix the car, I still learned a lot.

Unless it was partly clogged injectors and the Techron cured it, at
least for 2 or 3000 miles.

Right. And as someone else here pointed out, it's likely on the intake
gaskets because they are a known problem on those engines.

Well, just watching the readings should be sufficient. If you manage to
block the leak or get propane into the leak instead of air or the like,
the numbers will change immediately and obviously and then return back
once you remove your hand or the propane torch from the leak.

But you also know that the intake gaskets are bad, and if they aren't
causing this problem, they are likely going to cause another.

I assume you read that Toyota tech bulletin that Clare provided? It applied
to a very specific leak, at the shaft on the throttle body or air volume
control, whatever you choose to call it. Did you check there?

That tech bulletin said to watch short term fuel trim while doing the
spray test.

I checked everywhere.

And I did read the TSB, and it is exactly my codes and my model car, but
it also provided a list of VINs, of Production Change Effective VIN, a
term I don't understand.

But still I think mine isn't in the list. The 4th character and
everything except the last 3 after that was different, so I figure it
doesn't apply to me.

It listed Camry 4T1BA3#K*4u502118
Solara 4T1CA3#K*4u017744

And I'm Solara 4T1FA38P55U044744

However I did spray carb cleaner where they said to, and nothing
happened. I'd already tried propane all around there.

when it's working right, and maybe I can find one or more values that
are different from when it was working wrong, and maybe if/when it

I gather that if the codes are cleared, when the code is set again, many
scan tools including mine will take a freeze frame. But that's not the
same as spraying and having the fuel trim change. How does a person
notice that when he's alone? Put the scanner on the dash facing out?

Anyhow, I'm going for a longer drive now with the scan tool attached.
