Here we go again!!

Son of a beotch!!! My engine light is back on, and the codes are still reading Bank 1 & bank 2 po171 and po174 lean.

The guy who replaced the MAF said on his reader, it said my MAF was bad causing the lean, but Im still having the problem!! Do you guys think this guy was taking me for a ride? Or, was he being honest and telling me he was correct on his reader saying it was the MAF sensor? And, now of course... he wants me to bring it back cause it may be the O2 sensors???

help again...

Not sure what code says "bad maf sensor". Don't bring it back to this guy. Whoever looks at it needs to check your fuel pressure (56-63psi is ok) and also check for intake leaks. Also sometimes the intake tube where it meets the throttle body gets folded under and it can pull in air from there.

Still havent had a chance to drop off my truck. hope to get it in the shop next week. The idle is getting worse almost like I have a rediculously agressive cam. My truck has 70k on it as well.

Actually it might be the cat.

I had the same issue, had a code that said bad MAF (don't know the code, just got the info from the dealer) changed the MAF and still had the same code.

Then into the shop and being in Denmark where the shops don't know wery much about Hummers resulted in me changing the engine (at my own cost) because nobody cared to check the cats.

Same thing Here. I am now getting the same Codes. I did have my intake tube folded at the throttle. So I pulled it off and boiled it to get it hot and expand. As it was ZERO degrees out last night. After boiling I ran it outside and it slid right on with no fold. I tightend it down and I am still have issues. I guess I will be taking it into the dealer next week.

I really do not think its the cats. Those codes are comming from before the CATS not after. I have already had my CATS replace and the codes for that fix were (System Inefficent) NOT (System Lean). I look foward to your findings. If it was Zero degrees outside I would be all over it

Well I have 85K miles on my truck.

This weekend I put my truck on my father in-laws SnapOn Scanner and went throught the whole engine. I could not get it to thow a code for me while it was plugged into the truck. I went through all the injectors and checked for any history of misfires and misfires while running. So that was good news. I left my In-laws house and was getting 7.5mpg. I decided I should change my airfilter. Supposedly the air filter is rated for 100K. But I went ahead and replaced it this weekend. $60 at Autozone. Gas mileage is back up to normal. Truck is running VERY good. My old filter was pretty bad. I could even tell a weight difference when holding the new vs. the old.

Might want to check your filter.
