p0171

I know what it is, but I'm just wondering what people think of why I got it today. I've had my CAI for months now, but this weekend I changed out the hose from the intake to the valve cover for filters. Do you think it could be the filters? Thats that only thing I can think of. I cleared the code with a tech 2 and drove it up to school and it came back. Car's going in on friday for reflashes anyways, so I'll have them clear it again then, but i'd rather not have a repeating code all the time so I want to figure this out. Anyone?

So you put filters in the PCV line? (If I'm hearing you correctly). You aren't gaining any performance, and I would just put the line back on and the code should go away. Also, there needs to be vacuum on the PCV for it to work correctly.

the light will go out but it will take a long time something like 100 key cycles or something just clear the light if you can or go to auto zone and barrow / use there scanner its free but you have to leave a deposit hope this helps
