Hello again! After a week long hunting trip running 4x4 through snow and mud my TB isn't running correctly again. I have P0171 🤮. So far I've replaced the TB gasket, intake manifold gaskets and injector seals. I already had the gaskets due to a shipping error on a head set I used previously to repair an issue. It starts fine and seems to idle fine as well but if I try to accelerate in gear it just bogs till it dies. This is what I know off the top of my head-
MAP 11 inhg at idle
O2 sensor flat line at idle
STFT 19% at idle
I can get exact live data tomorrow but these measurements were the ones that stood out.
I did a makeshift smoke test with a vapor smoking pen but I didn't see any smoke leaking. This leads me to believe it to be fuel related. The issue happened over the course of two days. It began as hesitant acceleration and progressed to not accelerating at all. The only code is the P0171. I plugged the evap line on the TB and the brake booster line at the manifold and double checked the vac line to the fuel pressure regulator for fuel and leaks. It still does the same thing. I don't have a MAF or air pump. The 02 sensor behaves The same way with a replacement. The CAT shows 1 psi of back pressure at WOT but that figure is from 1-2 months ago. The fuel system has had the pump replaced with a cheap Yita Motor pump and the filter is new. The tank has been plastic welded to repair the filler neck break. The fuel line from the filter to the rail was broke at the test port so I repaired it with a compression fitting and it has held up fine. Tomorrow I'm going to get the fuel pressure numbers but what do I need to look for to determine if it's the pump, regulator or injectors? I have an action cam I can use to record the fuel pressure as I throttle it. If there is any other information I can provide to assist in this diagnosis let me know. Also if you think it's could still be a vacuum leak where could I look again? I'll smoke it again if need be. Thanks again!
