Re: 2000 echo check engine light
Hello,
If you recall, I posted back in August with a check engine light problem and found your website, followed the directions, cleaned the MAF sensor, reset the EFI fuse and after about 2 weeks, it seemed that the engine reset itself and everything has been fine since.
Over the past month, I've realized that sometimes when I drive over 60
MPH, the check engine light came back on, however, the car still ran just fine and there was no stalling like before. By the time I went to get the codes checked the light went off again.
The other day I was driving to work and the light popped on again and so I stopped at Auto Zone and got a P0171 System too lean (bank 1) code. I pulled the fuse to reset it and was going to wait until I got home to check and possibly re-clean the MAF sensor, however, when I left work last night, the car was stalling like NEVER before. It would literally almost die and then when I got it going it seemed like it took forever to shift into the next gear (even though I have an automatic). It seemed clogged up or something. I haven't been using 85 fuel for months and am worried it might be the catalytic converter......
10 miles later when exiting the freeway, everything was back to normal and the stalling stopped completely. So far today, there has been no stalling either.
Can you tell me what to do next?
