intermittent SES code 0171 and 0174

May 08, 2004 2 Replies

I know these codes indicate a lean system, on both banks. My question is, what would cause these to set only every few weeks? At first I thought it had something to do with altitude, as it happened while visiting the nearby mountains.(6000') But then I got the same codes even at my normal, home elevation (2000')



Each time, I just clear the code and everything is fine. Also: they cause no drivability issues.



Anybody got any idea?



Thanks
