NOTE:
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information.
- If some of the DTCs listed below are stored at the same time as DTC P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175, troubleshoot those DTCs first, then recheck for P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175.

1. Check the fuel pressure.

Is the fuel pressure OK?

YES - Check the valve clearances and adjust them if needed (DTC P0172 and P0175 only). If the valve clearances are OK, replace the injectors, then go to step 2.

NO - Check these items:
- If the pressure is too high, replace the fuel pressure regulator, then go to step 2. If the pressure is too low, check the fuel pump, the fuel feed pipe, and the fuel filter. If they are all OK, replace the fuel pressure regulator, then go to step 2.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
3. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
4. Do the PCM idle learn procedure.
5. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
6. Test-drive under these conditions:
- ECT SENSOR 1 above 158 degrees F (70 degrees C)
- Transmission in D position
- Drive at a steady speed between 25 - 75 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for 5 minutes, then drive at a steady speed between 15 - 75 mph (24 - 120 km/h) for 15 minutes.

NOTE: DTC P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 may take up to 80 minutes of test driving to set. Using the HDS, monitor the long term fuel trim (LT FUEL TRIM) or the air fuel feed back average (AF FB AVE). If the long term fuel trim/air fuel feed back average stays within 0.86 - 1.17, there is no problem at this time.

7. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P0171, P0172, P0174, or P0175 is indicated, go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Troubleshooting is complete.
