Sunday, took the rig thru the spray car wash I have always used. When you pull in it sprays the undercarriage. Was running perfectly before this. On the way home it was only idling rough in gear at a light or stop sign. Little less in neutral or park. Rig scheduled to go in to shop the next day, Monday, for work I don't want to do, like trans cooling lines and fluid changes. I have no way of dumping the fluids. I attached my scanner and pulled a code P0171. I did not clear the cod. I did not hear a vacuum leak but also did not pull out my mechanic's stethoscope to listen. I know other things can contribute to the code setting but I had no extra time to dig in.
Anyway, while on the way to the shop it was still showing a rough idle and now the CEL was on as well. The light was not on before. The shop is gonna access the code(s) and diagnose for me while there. This is the shop where two guys that worked for me now own there own shop. Both ASE Master Techs and know what they are doing.
Three weeks from now I have appointment for the body work/paint work on the scratches at the corners of the front bumper. Thankfully, like now, I have the use of a loaner vehicle from my friend at the American Legion.
