0171 and 0174 codes

Last year I got these codes with my check engine light. We replaced the air filter, and the mass air flow sensor. We reset the computer and the light came back on a month later. What else can it be?

    Thanks for your reply, and you are probably right. My husband found one collapsed hose. We replaced it and 2 days later, the light came back on. So I ended up taking it to a shop who found another hose with a HUGE hole in it. Picking it up today, and I hope that's the problem. The first hose took care of P0171. P0174 still showed, so we're hoping that's the issue.

    Thanks again!!!

Last week my check engine light came on Auto zone said it was mass air flow sensor the next day my car would not stay running like it was running out of gas

So you replaced the sensor and now the light is back on, right? Have you checked the code again to make sure it's still the MAF sensor code? If so, you've got a connector or wiring harness issue.

Po101 code

Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner. Reset code and drive vehicle. Check for air leaks on or around any intake pipework using a good spraying of carb cleaner, if the engine surges then that's the leak. Check wiring to Maf and if the inside is dirty, again use carb cleaner liberally...NOTE: do not use Wd40... If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.
