  1. General Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accidents.
    I have a CEL and 3 codes come up. A P0171, a P0134, and a P1700. The main issue is the engine running lean. Any idea on how to fix this?

    So after installing a new Bosch upstream sensor, and doing a full oil change, I've gotten some gray smoke coming from the passenger side of the block.

  8. Tuning: Electronic Engine Management
    Hello guys, I installed a PDX wideband sensor in my 07 STI, but there were a couple of conflicting parameters to define its location: First, it says that you have to locate it at least 18" after the turbo because if not the heat will eventaully burn it (better yet, 36" if you are going to...
