</>Please help if you have any thoughts, I just bought a 1998 tooper with 3.5 DOHC, the check engine light was burn't out, replace bulb, and now I got all kinds of codes, starts with P0171 lean bank1, 0174 lean bank 2, then later 0137 O2 low volts bank 1/2,0157 O2 low volts bank 2/2,1171 don't know,405 EGR low input. I have changed fuel and air filter, and run a fuel injector cleaner lucas, now what? I'm thinking fuel pressure, don't have a guage, and would I check it at the fuel rail, there's a little sherader valve there? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, won't smog Help </>&lt; src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" =text/&gt; </>&lt; =text/&gt; _uacct = "UA-939292-44"; urchinTracker(); </>

I had a similar problem with my '94 Trooper. I would lose power trying to accelerate on the freeway uphill, then my check engine ligt comes on. Not so sure if it was this forum but a couple of guys suggested replacing and/or cleaning the EGR VALVE.


My mechanic got to clean the EGR valve since the rubber diaphragm was still intact. I believe a new one costs about $120++. Believe it or not, I got my POWER back and the check engine light stays off.

There is also the passageways that need to be cleaned to improve things. Not sure if this applies to your particular engine, but same principle applies.


" The car will not idle correctly, is difficult to start and runs rough much of the time. My truck did not do any of that. I was also told that in many cases, the insufficient flow may be from carbon in the passageways to and from the EGR valve. After some closer looking with a flashlight in hand, I found a plug that has access to the line between the ERG and the cylinder intake. The plug is located below the EGR unit on the left hand side. You will need a set of hex keys to remove this plug. Once I had the plug removed, I had clear access to the horizontal passageway to the engine intake. I quick inspection did show quite a bit of carbon build up within. To clean the passageway, I broke out my gun cleaning kits and used the barrel brushes attached to a 12 inch section of rod. I believe that it was the .40 caliber brush that was the closest in size. I also used the generic carb cleaner in the process as well. This scrubbing did remove much more buildup than I imagined. I installed the plug back in it’s place and have not had a 401 so far. So I believe that possibly could have been the problem. "


Hope this helps.

Thank you, I did clean the port below the EGR, I was told to spray a whole can of carb cleaner in the port while running, being careful not to spray in the little hole(plug this hole, possible fire), (isuzufaq.com). Didn't help, I have a EGR on order should be here today, I've got my fingers crossed, if it dosen't work I'll tryremoving that plug thing. Thanks again
