P0170 P0173 Error codes Definitive test on AMM
2000 C280 with 63m. I have been getting an intermittent CEL that is now on all the time. Error code is P0170 and P0173. Is no power at 4000RPM and WOT a definitive indication that the AMM is kaput? Power seems fine at 4000 rpm and hard acceleration. Tried a spritz of CRC sensor cleaner but light comes back on within 20 miles. Just had a previous code P0150 and changed left front o2 sensor. Just changed plugs and wires to cure a rough idle. And I am due for a fuel filter change.

The definitive test would evaluate fuel trims data or viewing calc load on OBDII during the event.
But since I buy them by the bushel I'd just throw one at it and view the results to save a step. |
Steve, are you saying to look at the calc load "snapshot" data stored when the code happened? What do you look for?
|
No, I'm saying to look at the calculated load pid when the engine falls on its face at 4000+rpm full throttle.
Calculated load should be over 80% in such conditions. Calc load is calculated from AMM output. If the output calculates to 40-60% then it obviously is under reporting such a condition. |

One of my favorite videos... guy is articulate , too. |
change your MAF

So far so good. Replaced the AMM insert and no CEL so far. After cleaning and clearing the codes last time, the CEL came back on after a day or so.
Thanks all, glenmore 2000 C280 1991 300CE 1990 LS400 |
