Ok my engine warning light has come on again , the code is 0171 (system too lean) iv had this code come up before so I check it all out and turned one of my hoses come off the air intake, assuming that's what it was I fixed it cleared the code but now it's back, anyone with any help ideas to what it could be would be much appreciated, also I have rechecked all hoses and clamps all seem to be fine so now I'm lost

Did they change the fuel filter?

(it is a section of the pump assembly in the fuel tank)

If it hasn't been done, it may still be on it's original production line filter and might be quite clogged.

Just a thought.

Hey guys, didn't want to start a new thread. Mine has the same code coming up. Vac lines replaced and cable tied. Car seems to run fine but don't want to go and blow it...

However I want to change the fuel pump anyway, is there a write up on this?? Can't seem to find one for the life of me. Would be happy to take pics and do a write up if that is the case.

So does anyone have a part number for the external filter? What's the best drop in pump to use and so on... Your wisdom is greatly appreciated as always.

This is the best one, and closely resembles our car.

Contact Scotty for a fuel pump.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
