Earlier today my TB threw a P1400 code. (Went to AutoZone to have it pulled)

Definition:
- Cold start reduction control system.

Possible Cause:
- Lower than expected cold idle speed.

Has anybody had this error? I have googled it and I do not know much about the engine so I am lost. :confused:

Thanks!

My truck was giving this error code (P1400) along with P0105 & P0506 not too long ago. I was able to solve all 3 by cleaning the throttle body.

My 2007 Envoy turned on its check Engine light last night. Runs fine, luckily.
A friend checked the code- P1400.
So I'll be cleaning my throttle body this weekend too.

(p.s. Fuel sender seems to have gone bad again! I changed it last year
and it was fine until I filled up a couple of months ago- back to using the odometer.):frown:
Probably not connected with the P1400 though.

Guaranteed not related.

Did it today. Like others have said- it was easy and the engine runs smoother (audibly and by feel). It used to have a 'raspy' sound and feel recently but now accelerates very smoothly.
A bonus is that while the battery was disconnnected the memory was lost, so the error code has cleared on its own. I don't need to borrow my friwend's checker to reset the code.

Thanks to the original authors of write ups on Trailvoy and the new ones in GMTNation.:thumbsup:

By the way, Roadie, do you know your latest picture on this site looks a bit like "Sheldon Cooper" on Big Bang Theory"? :smile:

Hmmmmm, never heard that before. :cool:

That's actually a picture of me in college in 1972. I'm a bit pauncher today.

Really, It *is* Sheldon Cooper. I act like him, but don't look a bit like him. Besides, he's gay and I'm happily married for 39 years.
