OK, I’m the new guy resurrecting the old topic.
I’ve been working on a 99 Corolla. I pulled the engine, replaced the rings, etc. The engine runs strong & doesn’t smoke. But it has the P0171 and is idling too high. I’ve replaced the PCV valve & most of the vacuum lines. I’ve tested for leaks with the carb cleaner trick. Nothing seems to indicate a vacuum leak. When I got the car it already had the catalytic converter removed and replaced with a piece of pipe. It also needs a muffler. The old one has some serious ventilation in it.
I have a decent Innova scan tool. It will give me live data. Part of the problem is I don’t know what the data means. I don’t have any way to know what the values should be.
Thank you for your input!
