fuel pressure spec

I forgot to mention that I have a fully ported blower with a 3.6in pulley, could those cause a lean code?

Shouldn't matter unless there is a leak on the blower to LIM gasket. It wouldn't be the first time I've heard of that happening.

When did you first get the code?

I got the code right after I put the new blower and pulley on I also made a 4in fwi with a k&n but I switched to my stock airbox temporarily and it still set the code

I got really excited my code was off for about a day and a half until just now I drove maybe 20 feet to park and it set, I can almost tell when the code will set because the idle gets very choppy and it has a definite loss in throttle response

The code will usually stay off until a certain criteria is met to test the sensor that causes the code.

I would say you've got to go back and start there. Now it's VERY likely that you should be focusing on the blower to LIM gasket... Also the throttle body gasket, anything after the MAF sensor. It might be worth getting another blower to LIM gasket and pulling the blower back off to look for problems. You wouldn't be the first person to have a problem with that gasket install. Did you use a torque wrench on the blower bolts?

I thought of that and ill most likely try it this weekend after thanksgiving, this Time ill use a felpro gasket, and no I didn't use a torque wrench probably should have what is the torque spec 13 lbs for the blower bolts?

That sounds about right but I'll have to check my book when I get home. Anybody have the blower torque spec handy?

thank you, advanced auto had all the gaskets in stock  i was amazed and they are all felpro right after black friday ill be taking the riv apart with my dad again  

Ok I just replaced intake gaskets and blower gasket, drove the car all day no code, right as I park the car code pops up, I was thinking about driving off the nearest cliff so far I've spent over 900 dollars trying to fix this car I'm most likely going to send zzp my pcm to delete the p0171 since they have dhp

Send it sinister performance his names Ryan Gick he does 96 rivs since our transmissions are vacuum controlled and he is a fair guy
