- In this video I will share with you how to diagnose and fix a P0171 & P0138 Trouble Code On a Honda Civic! #CodeP0171 #Checkengine #Fuelsystem
Sir, you are a master mechanic! And based on your videos you don’t replace unnecessary items. I notice you meticulously tested each component including a scope on sensor wires! I personally learned a lot watching you troubleshooting! Thank you! 👍
@AndreSilva-gm4lt My Pleasure! Thanks, I'm glad to hear that the videos have been helpful!
I HAVE A 2013 CIVIC . MY CAR DID THE SAME EXACT THING. NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CHANGED MY MAF SENSOR AND THE UPPER OXYGEN SENSOR. THE POWER TO THE ENGINE RETURNED. GAS MILEAGE IMPROVED. SMOOTH IDLE. CLEARED THE CODES. EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL.
@henrystyle4879 That's Good!
Hey brother, it’s Tom Mack. I I followed your advice get to the root problem and it turns out it was the fuel pump I paid $283 bucks !! At O’Reillys or a Silverado 1500 I got a fuel pump at Amazon $88 bucks , so far so good , I don’t care what these other mechanic tell me I guess they wanted to be like what you said don’t be one of those guys that buy brand new parts you don’t need , god bless you my brother thanks so much
Tom Mack My Pleasure!! I'm glad to hear that your car is fixed!! thanks for letting me know!
You are welcome, I should be the one Thanking you bro, I don’t know why but other mechanic must have stock in auto parts ? Giving the wrong advice. It’s like why? I don’t mind getting a new part of my truck 🛻 but when they cost 💲a arm and a leg I don’t I have better things to do with that money like pay off a bill. You are a blessing to the people and to UA-cam . I know there’s others here but !!! You have been more help to me then all the other on here ! I don’t mean to be saying anything bad about them other’s, you at least get back to me with your advice, I don’t get any feedback from any of these mechanics at all, I am a Christian and I do believe in God and I will be praying for you to be blessed , I am 60 now I I grew up working on the 50s 60s and 70s vehicle when they were simple to fix but this new vehicle, I hate I have leaned more from you then I have from all there other on here . Thanks again, Have a great day bro 😎
Thanks bro you giving me the confidence to approach under the bonet . Any advice for a budget scan tool for beginners . appreciate .
Excellent diagnosis your videos are making me much better. Thanks you very much for your videos. 👍🏾

You're the best on UA-cam
@lloydwilliams8497 Thank you!
Another great video mate 🎉 just want to ask what is the one will always go up and down on the graph the downstream or the upstream O2 sensor 🎉 thanks for the reply 🎉
@oliverthemechanic8532 Thanks, the upstream sensor should be going up and down
I love your work! Always very informative!
Ladeisha Williams Thank you!!
Your video makes common sense. Keep it up
Mayowa Odus Thank you!!
I love your explanation for learn and reach conditions numbers, K DIAGNOSTIC you are too much
Suleman Habib My Pleasure!! I appreciate it!
Sometimes if the parts store can’t get the intake rubber boot I just cleaned the old one with acetone, sandpaper and apply some good ole JB weld glue. It will seal it that tear and will last a little longer until they get it in.
@thereckchanic4709 Oh ok, Good to know
shout out sir from the phillippines
el fernandez Thank you! and thanks for letting me know where you are watching from!!
It was an awesome approch to tackle a defective component but my question here is that from one of your videos you give an idea that each time you replace oxygen sensor you have to learn it so that it will last longer thank you!
Aminu Abdulqadir Abubakar My Pleasure!!
Very nice video with very nicely explain.Thank you.

YOU AS ALWAYS ARE NUMBBER 1, THANKS
@sambitar5194 My Pleasure! Thanks
informative. thanks for sharing. Looks like that booth cracked prematurely... I mean is a 2015 only 7years; this is part that does not move ...
Daniel Builes Thanks!
Very good diagnosis again! Good video.
Bart Young Thank you!!
In your case, ASE stands for Awesome, Super, Excellent mechanic!!!
Melanie Branton D.V.M. Thank you, I appreciate you!
I really like your video
@MbuhBrutus Thank you!
Hi. Can you explain why did you changed the second o2 sensor after you found the air leak? O2 b1bs2 after replacing is still not right as he is oscilating. There should be the almost the flat line in range 0.45 to 0.7v with tendention to rich side if cat is good. Will look for exhaust leaks or bad catalyst after good heatup
Mr. T 02 sensor was replaced because of how slow it was responding! no exhaust leaks were found, an 02 sensor after the cat can oscillate momentarily which is ok, but not just all the time!
excellent job very informative
gilberto cruz Thank you!
Does the rule of high RPM returning fuel trims to normal in the case of vacuum leak also apply to turbo powered engines?
@chukachuka17 not necessarily!
I had the same first problem in my car hight voltage ogygene sensor but the upstraim one, which prevent the car from going over 10 mile an hour, if you try to accelerate too much, the engine RPM decrease to almost engine stalling if you keep your foot on the gas pedal, but my situation there was no check engine light neither codes stored, i just figure it out from live data, the value of the upstraim ogygene sensor was going up to 1.30 V, and fuel trim were at negative 35 percent. The issue start long time ago 1 yeat, as car shaking misfire situarion, but it was internittent from time to time, the car start shaking bad for few second 2 to 3 second, and somtimes the checke engine light came on with code misfire in any cylinder and somtimes no code at all, and i couldnt figure it out, i was just doing tun up plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor each time it happen, and the problem dispeared for few months till i thought it fixed and then it happen again.
Seems easy with vehicles that have the MAF sensor. But what is the comparative test/issue for vehicles that have a MAP sensor, not a MAF? Thank you!
@jaym5938 you can look IAC Valve counts to figure out what kind of problem you have
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Thank you!
Deo, I hate to tell you this, "now they are recommending MAF sensor cleaner or electronic cleaner on this sensor. They don't even want you to use brake cleaner on throttle housing. The recommendation on throttle housing cleaner is now Sea foam or throttle housing cleaner.
Melanie Branton D.V.M. yeah, you are right I should have used a MAF Cleaner, I used what I had Lol! next time I'll make sure I get the right stuff!
DEO MY BROSKY THANKS FOR SHARING 🦀🦀✌️
Joseph Bonilla My Pleasure Bro!!
Please, how much does the Zeus tool you're using appr cost?
@Clinton-f3e you can get the price from your local snapon dealer
2015 Honda Civic 1.8 the hose leading to the throttle body and mass air sensor it was ripped well the air filter look like it wasn't changed much so that means that area wasn't moved a lot so how did that get ripped
brenda palen overtime with the heat in the engine bay the hose cracks and eventually it breaks!
Is there any way to diagnose if its the fuel pump or maf sensor/vac. Leak without that computer all I have is a regular obdll which I use just to get codes
@vatoloco1348 you can look at Data Pids and figure it out!
@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair ok so I found out my obd11 did have a live data option shrtft1 is 43-44% longft is 25-26% while idling at 680rpm I've cleaned my maf sensor and there appears to be no leaks I'm running a code p0171 right now and can't figure it out any recommendations would be greatly appreciated 😅
Nice vedio boss
Ashif Mohammed Thank you!

Thanks a lot , good gob
Mohammad Al-Gebaly My Pleasure!! Thank you!
Good work
William Herrera Thank you!
Great!!!
@ROBINJOHNSON-l1k Thank you!
Use Mass air flow sensor cleaner, not the brake cleaner man, the MAF is very sensitive to residue left in it, and the prober cleaner dosent left any residue behind.
@abdoualilahthomas8031 ok
I have the same exact car and engine. Currently dealing with weird idle. My car shakes/shuddering (noticeable enough) but no check engine light. Did a tune up recently with new spark plugs and all about less than a year ago. I also replaced the intake boot that you replaced and cleaned all my throttle body plate and MAF sensor with cleaner and a new air filter and freshly new changed oil.
I looked at the fuel trims with my scanner and my short term fuel trim bank 1 is 2.3 - 3.1(%) and my long term fuel trim bank 1 is -2.3 (%) to -3.1(%). Long term is on the negative side… Would that be pointing to a bad O2 sensor you just replaced? Also my engine coolant temp is about 203F warmed and after driving for a good 20minutes. Not sure if my numbers on my car are normal? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
Forgot to mention, i cleaned my egr valve also. My scanner also shows EGR error 99.2(%) to 0 (%) every 3 seconds… would that also be an indication of a malfunctioning egr valve?
Jomari Torres Your fuel trim numbers don't look bad at all!! did you get these numbers at idle or at high rpm? the next thing you can check is your crank and cam sensors, I'm not saying replace them but check them, if you don't have the scope to check them, you should have a pro mechanic do that for you!! so you can get to the bottom of the problem!
Jomari Torres yeah! your EGR valve might be opening at the wrong time!! but usually ego opening at the wrong time would cause your trim numbers to be high positive!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Got a check engine life for crankshaft position sensor 2 months ago and replaced it. Havent had any check engine after that and its been clear since then. The car was idle when i checked the numbers. What do you think of my egr error reading? Is that normal also? Thanks
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair would you also know where the camshaft sensor located for this engine?
So the theory of when increasing the engine RPM, if the lean fuel trim numbers go down is related to vacuum leak is not always correct, because in our situation here, there is a vacuum leak at the air cleaner hose but the theory dosent not apply to it.
Nice
@user-dz4jb5rg6k Thank you!
Good
@mehmetkunt2503 Thank you!
I had the same problem with my civic. That original Honda air inlet tube is made from recycled materials to be “GREEN “ and tears apart every fee years to reminder the owner to be cool green. 😏😏
Hojat Mahdavi haha!
O2 sensors produce their own voltage!
@waverider5751 some do!
Not the first comment
TheRealDyscyples Thanks for being here!
👍👍🌷🌷🌷
Aymen Mohamed Thank you!
SORRY FRIEND BUT O2 SENSOR 2 IS STILL GOING UP AND DOWN COULD YOU HAVE A BAD CATALYST? I AM DIMIS FROM GREECE HOW ARE YOU?WE HAVE NOT TALKED FOR A LONG TIME.......
LETTA LETTA I'm good my Friend! How are you? the Cat and the 02 sensor needed to warm up a little bit!
that brand new rear O2 sensor(towards the end of the video) is still oscilating too much it does exactly the same thing as the old one so either is a bad new sensor or you have a bad cat
@mkatalin09 Good Suggestion
A bit confused. Since the cause of the P0171 is a vacuum leak, why didn't the high RPM revert the fuel trims to normal?
@chukachuka17 what do you mean?
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair you mentioned that with a vacuum leak, revving the RPM will usually correct the fuel trims with -10 to +10%. However, that wasn't the case here even with that vacuum leak.
If the short term fuel trim was negative 30% what can we attribute that too
Mayowa Odus a stuck open fuel injector can cause that and etc...
Grasias
Martin Arrieta My Pleasure!!
Why is the downstream O2 sensor still cycling? Doesn't look right.
@schifoso there is nothing wrong!
Isn't it supposed to be a constant value? It is on my Hondas. Is the ECM messing with the fuel delivery?
I ask you to activate the translation feature in the video to all the languages of the world 🌏
Ghaith Sabah Done !
PO171 on my 2014 Nissan Sentra my mechanic scan tool only brings up this code when I take it to auto zone to scan po171 comes up and P0456 small evap leak ………….MAFS CHANGED BOTH OXYGEN EENORS CHANGED PCV CHANGED PURGE VALVE CHANGED SMOKE TEST DONE YESTERDAY SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE OIL CAP CHANGED CAP CLEAR CODE CODE COMES BACK WHWN I STATT CAR IN AM SMFH
@PyiAnkhiBolo Did you analyze fuel trim numbers?
idol.....
大黄蜂 Bumblebee Thanks!!
Needs oil change after this job
E.R.videography Yeah! doing an oil change afterwards would be a smart move!
