Anytime you have idle speed control related trouble codes (P0505, P0506, P0507) the first thing you want to look for is a vacuum leak. Many idle air control valves, solenoids, motors and electronic throttle bodies have been replaced needlessly due to these trouble codes. In this video we will focus primarily on fuel trim data to determine if we have a vacuum leak. LTFT values will be shown at different RPMs to give us a clear direction.
Engine Performance Diagnostics chapter 4
- check engine light (P0171, P0174, P0506 trouble codes)
- rough idle
- poor gas mileage
- hesitation on acceleration
- replace EGR valve (worn pintle)

- how to interpret idle speed control data
- how to interpret electronic throttle control data
- how to use fuel trim data to identify a vacuum leak
