had a check engine light today and checked it out and the book said balance too lean. so what does balance too lean mean?

 

02 sensor, shoulda said like bank 1 or bank 2, so you know which side

 

oh yeah it did, cant remember which though. is that causing any problems like it is?

 

what problems..If its too lean, its an o2 sensor just replace them..ALL

 

Check all your vac hoses before suspecting a bad O2 sensor.

 

ok, if its wrong how bout an explanation of whats right? since just saying "wrong" doesnt help anyone and just makes you look just as ignorant.

 

It could be a number of things.

On a different car I've personally had this lean DTC code. It turned out to be a piece of lint on the MAF wire.

Could be a vacuum leak.. (hoses, gaskets,ect...)

Id look for a vacuum leak first.

 

how do you do this.. i just got the same error today.. :( and i suspect a leak weeks ago when i heard a hiss coming from the passenger side after shutting off the car.. and its been getting louder... :(

 

try maf and vac leaks i had the same problem about a year ago spent tons of money in it and never got any answers turned out it was a bad maf sensor

 

i cleared the code last night and drove for awhile and it hasnt came on again. i had a check engine light for a vacume leak before but cleared that 2 and it never came back on. so im guessin thats what its gonna be. now how do i find it? it does that hissing noise 2 when i shut it off

 

pop your hood while the engine is running and look for collapsed hoses, I had a tear in the hose that goes from the throttle body into the back of the intake manifold. (4.0L sohc) and had the check engine light on, DTC said bank 1 and 2 lean, after I replaced the hose and used the sct tuner to clear my codes havent had a problem.

that hose was making me idle at 1500rpm and under normal driving when shifting gears from about 2900rpm it would stay that high when the clutch went in so of course it caused a bit of problems... lol

BTW a colapsed hose will hiss noticably so it wont be hard to find
