Installed PHP Spacer, Now Check Engine Light! - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

o3BlueMach1 · 06-20-2006, 06:23 PM

Installed PHP spacer, drove around a minute...... service engine light comes on...... 2 DTC's System too lean bank 1, System too Lean bank 2...... so... what do I do?

hawk · 06-20-2006, 06:29 PM

make sure you didn't tear the gasket, and your EGR is tight.

machstang23 · 06-20-2006, 06:33 PM

I know the biggest pain of the whole install is the EGR, so I would make sure that it is secured properly...

birdman941 · 06-20-2006, 06:36 PM

Make sure the PCV valve tube is tight. ( vacuum leak?)
Make sure the electrical solenoid forward of the EGR is plugged in.
Make sure no wiring got caught under the spacer or pinched.
Too late now but:

o3BlueMach1 · 06-20-2006, 07:01 PM

another thing i found out is my adaptive fuel trim is +25%......

o3BlueMach1 · 06-20-2006, 07:44 PM

had to be something simple..... stupid egr gasket only in one bolt hole ....

FIXED NOW.....

but my adaptive fuel trim is still in the +15% range... is this normal?

birdman941 · 06-20-2006, 07:44 PM

Did you reset the PCM?

o3BlueMach1 · 06-20-2006, 07:48 PM

by battery disconnect or...?

PeeDeeMACH · 06-20-2006, 08:01 PM

Intake air leak downstream of MAF. Something is loose or the gasket is torn.

o3BlueMach1 · 06-20-2006, 08:05 PM

ok.... i reset the battery and drove around..... back to ~0% fuel trim at idle
woot

Mark04Mach1 · 06-20-2006, 08:07 PM

Nice!

o3BlueMach1 · 06-20-2006, 08:11 PM

guess i'll change my sig now lol...

birdman941 · 06-20-2006, 08:43 PM

So, how ya like da spacer?

Blk2k4Mach · 06-20-2006, 08:49 PM

It will give you an extra mph or 2 in the quarter. believe me...

birdman941 · 06-20-2006, 08:57 PM

Took mine on a 200 mile trip today on the interstate.
Definitely felt stronger midrange,
and throttle response was better when I "hit it" at speed.

Mach 1 Fireman · 06-20-2006, 09:06 PM

Since this is the closest spacer thread I can find, I have a question. I just ordered mine yesterday. Anyone have one on an auto Mach, and if yes, does it help?

o3BlueMach1 · 06-20-2006, 09:41 PM

loving the spacer... but I think I love my car even more after my O/R prochamber and tune....

Don't see why it wouldn't help in an auto mach... I'd go for it!

birdman941 · 06-20-2006, 09:43 PM

It "should" work.
Can't think of a reason why it wouldn't.

Mach 1 Fireman · 06-20-2006, 09:46 PM

Good thing. Like I said, I ordered it yesterday

YellowMenace · 06-20-2006, 10:16 PM

Sorry. Won't work on a blue auto.

HA HA...that's funny.

Actually, it won't work on an auto. The inferior crank can't handle the extra TQ. Didn' you hear??....M5s only...they sent a memo out.

Just playing.
