Two major repairs, P0171 and P0174 AGAIN!!!!
Alright, I've looked at a number of the threads for these codes and know they're are quite troublesome. Here's what was done just 1,000 miles ago.
Lately, I noticed that my coolant overflow reservoir was empty, dry in fact. The temp never showed to be above normal however. I added coolant, and it has definitely dropped below the level it was at when I added it in just the last few days. The CEL came on, shortly after I added the new coolant. The coolant that's in their has some small dark bit floating around in it, but there was dry residue in the reservoir when I filled it, so maybe it's that.
I feel like I have a little bit of low speed hesitation, but idle is smooth, travel at speed is smooth, and passing is still smooth and strong. Despite the price of fuel, I tried on pedal-on-the-floor pass from about 50 - 70 mph and my kick down was almost instant and acceleration was good.
I'm stumped. :frustrate
