    Question Keeps Throwing Codes

    WELL I RECENTLY HAVE A MAIL TUNE FROM NP.THIS IS ON MY BLOWN 08'4.8 GUYS,AFTER 3-4 RUNS,ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.IT BACKFIRES SOME TIMES.I MEAN IT RUNS GOOD,I GET ON IT EVERYDAY,NO KNOCKING OR PINGING.BUT HERE ARE THE CODES-

    Po171-fuel Trim Bank Condition

    Explanation-the Pcm Uses The Oxygen Sensor To Calculate The A/f Ratio Of The Engine.the Computer Has Recognized A Rich Or Lean Condition On One Engine Bank Only.

    Po174-fuel Trim Bank 2 Condition

    Explanation-the Ecm Has Detected A Rich Or Lean A/f Ratio Condition on bank two.


    So should i take it easy for now ,till i get a live tune.what am i risking?

    It's a MAF tune with boost. Those are lean codes for both banks. May need a MAF solution or a SD tune. Anyone else?

    Do you have a wideband? What is your A/F ratio while in boost? Should be 11.5 or lower. Could be O2's going bad...

    Did he delete all of the o2's or just the rear's? I would definitely take it easy until you got a wideband hooked up. At ;east then you will be able to see what it's doing.

    I've got a lot of confidence in NP mail order tunes since that's what I had for a year with my set up. The wideband is just to double check and make sure that everything is in check. Since those codes are for being too lean, I would be very careful about getting on it. Just because it hasn't blown yet doesn't mean it won't. What size injectors do you have? Fuel pump? Do you have a narrow band or anything to monitor AFR?

    SAME HERE THATS WHY I WENT WITH HIM.
    I HAVE NOTHING TO MONITOR MY A/F RATIO
    THE INJECTORS,WHATEVER COMES WITH THE 112 RADIX MAGNUSON42-44?
    AS FOR FUEL,STOCK FUEL PUMP WITH MAGNAVOLT FROM CHARGER KIT.
    IM ONLY AT 5-6PSI,IM ALSO RUNNING TR6NGK

    just cause its not broke doesnt mean it wont break.

    IMHO a mail order should only be used as a base
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
