Post valve cover repair codes

[mdboulier]

I recently repaired the valve cover gaskets. I got it all back together and ....

P0201 - Fuel injector circuit condition - #1
P0205 - Fuel injector circuit condition - #5
P0171 - Fuel trim bank 1 / Bank 1 lean (probably a child code related to above)

Has anyone seen this issue before? I suspect an electrical issue with the #1 #5 fuel injectors which I had to disconnect to remove the valve cover.

Its running "OK" but certainly not as well as before the repair. Rough idle, less giddy-up.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I had P1131 and P1151 and only once P0201/0171. Maybe the electrical connector didn't reconnect properly? In mine, it went away after a reset and only 1131 and 1151 remained which turned out to be leaky gaskets or EGR valve.

Sounds like you may have nicked a wire.

The folks at the local parts store were gracious enough to let me reset the codes. They came right back after the second time I cranked it up. I will check the connections on the fuel injectors.

I didn't get those codes but running rough.

Got in and jiggled the appropriate fuel injector electrical connections and the problem went away. No codes, running great.
