This trouble code means your system is running to lean on bank 2, Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in bank 2 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10 engines, Bank 2 is generally the side of the engine that doesn't have cylinder #1. You will more than likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a lack of power, detonation (spark knock), and/or a hesitation/surge on acceleration

    check for a dirty fuel filter an proper fuel pressure inspect vacumm an pcv hoses for leaks an replace if needed also simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick aswell, but make sure you dont damage it an make sure its dry when reinstalling

2007 Ford Taurus SE 3.0, OHV 6 cylinder. I ran a code scan on it and it only throws a P0174 code?

You may have a gas leak, when it catches fire you can claim on insurance. :>D Don't drive cars where you can smell gasoline. Anyway, your code tells you the car is running lean so the ECM is dumping more fuel to compensate.

What is code P0174? The Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0174 indicates 'System Too Lean (Bank 2). ' The P0174 engine code indicates that the air-fuel ratio in your vehicle is too lean. Before the gas in your car can combust and power your vehicle, it must first combine with oxygen.

CHECK ENG LIGHT ON P0171,P0174,P1000,O2195.P2197 WHAT OR THESE CODES AND HOW CAN I FIX.

PO171 & PO174 are codes for fuel too lean. So is the clattering valves when you step on it. Sounds like you got some bad gas. Try filling up with a high octane gas and add a gas treatment for Ethanol which will help get some water out of the system. Good Luck

My 97 intrepid will start up, but putter out within seconds

Map Sensor or Crank Sensor. If you have a code reader the map sensor should throw a code, the crank sensor most often will not. Both will cause the car to start, idle to around 1,000 R's and then die.

Had trouble starting the vehicle for two days on the second day when it finally started it puttered after it did start. let it set for a second to get itself going. when i put it gear kind of puttered some...

We have the same problem we changed the fuel pump and it fix the problem for about a week, the van started puttering and didn't start until the 20th try. Now we are looking at the fuel filter. What a way to spend the 4th.

Car wont start

It is very bad to let your car run out of gas. You may need to give it exessive amount of gas when starting it.

My car sometimes wont start and when it does it cuts out and dies

Put a voltmeter on battery. It should say something like 12 volts. Start motor and see if you have about 14.5 volts while running. If not your charging system has failed.
