So I’m at approx. 13k on my 4.6L and have had a CEL since day one. The code hasn’t changed since I first started the motor and to be honest…I’m freakin’ sick of seeing that ugly amber glow. So here’s the particulars:
4.6L
Crane Cam # 753905 (advanced 4 Deg.)
New Cat. (OEM Style)
New O2 Sensor after cat
’99 intake
APN Header
New-ish Crank Position Sensor
OBDII Error Code P1391
I’ve talked to the machine shop about it and they seem to think it’s the intake opening a touch early and that inturn allows a small amount of fuel/air vapor into the exhaust which may be causing the O2 sensor to see slightly more hydrocarbons. I haven’t had the emissions tested, it’s not required here anymore.
If the CPS were causing the problem I would’ve been stuck on a trail along time ago.
Since it’s a 97, adjusting the TPS isn’t possible.
Before you suggest it, tape over the CEL isn’t an option.
Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
