Hey guys I got a CEL this weekend on my way back home so I stopped by Autozone to have it checked out, they came up with P0170, I have a service manual but it doesn't say what the hell this is. We crossed checked to see if it was some sensor gone bad but all we got was the fuel compensation for bank 1 exceeded the specified range (bank 1 identifies the location of cylinder 1 while bank 2 identifies the cylinders on the opposite bank)Okay I know Im not the smartest mofo in the world but does anyone have a clue wtf this means, and I really dont wont to go pay satan $80 to tell me it's the O2 going bad or some other 15cent sensor. All info is greatly apreciated in advance
and oh yea that keydance thing just didn't work for me at all

I know nothing about your code problem but I figured I'd throw in that the "keydance thing" only works on NT's so you'd know.

Well alrighty then! Excuse me fer breathin every ten seconds Gosh Darnit!. In my readings on the info page it neglected to specify that directly so now everybody knows the "keydance thing" aint a gonna wurk on turbo cars, I guess I got some free edumacation today after awl. Just thought someone else may have gotten the same code at one time and save me an hour drive to the Mitsu Dealership Looks like Ima gonna be seeing satan after all

I can check my chiltons when I get home, I think it has an error code listing for turbo cars.
I think VFAQ may have it also, I'm gonna check now and edit this post if it's there.

edit #2: the code sites they have at VFAQ are no longer in existance. sorry.

Thanxx for all your help the car still drives fine and no other problems but I lose brownie points everytime I get a passenger with that big yellow light on all the time

disconnect the battery for a min or 2 to reset it and then see if it comes back. Maybe it was no big deal and will stay off.

Hey.... I have the same code P0170... and also a P0400...

anyone have any more info on this??

I think thats the code for fuel trim malfunction. Basically you are running too rich or to lean, most likely at idle and your ECU is unable to compensate and bring your fuel trims back to normal. This could be caused my having one or more of the honeycombs in the MAS removed. Ive also seen this code thrown from removing the cat on 2gs. You really need a logger to see which end of the spectrum your fuel trims are at, and an AFC to make the corrections.

by the by, the key dance thing didnt' work on my NT and it doesn't work on my turbo...

I'm 90% sure it won't work on any OBD II car.....

The key dance DOES work on the NT's. And yes, the 2GNT's ARE obdII.
