Had check engine light on battery died jumped it no more check engine light. Went to go get it inspected/fixed said the car wasn't ready to be test. How many miles do you have to drive or what else do you need to do to get it ready to be tested. Just drove 75 miles light didn't come back on yet.

 

You sure be okay, by now.

 

thanks guess I'll go take it the mechanic and see what they say

 

took it over check it code 171 popped up on scanner the check engine light came back on. Told me to bring it back tomorrow had no room for it today, so hopefully will figure this out tomorrow.

 

Thats a fuel system lean code. How is the van running?

 

van runs fine right now. before the 171 I had a map sensor code and the van ran like crap stalling bucking black smoke out the exaust but seem fine now. The van sat for long time battery died and then the 171 one code came up and van ran fine.

 

Well got my van back mechanic replaced oxygen sensor upstream and catalytic converter everything passes inspections woo hoo!! Yeah right had it back about 2 weeks now and map sensor code came on p108 van is bucking tach is jumping up and down and have to drive in autostick to get anywhere. Just ordered another map sensor should have it around 5 anything else that might be causing this. I've driven about 300-400 miles since we got it back with no problems till now. Really frustrated

 

well just replaced the map sensor. Pull the battery before doing so no check engine light and seems fine for now. Guess I'll find out was I drive it some distance.
