Title: code 41
Post by: jcassity on December 02, 2015, 11:08:26 AM
anyone ever had to struggle with clearing eec code 41?

yes it could be a dirty 02,,, shop manual indicates I may be running lean as well.
Fuel pres is fine under load and in park.. I did not test fuel pressure while driving though because I haven't modified my tester to make the hose longer.

If possible have you swapped the O2's from right to left to see if the code follows the HEGO?

Try this first. If the code follows the HEGO just get a new one (or pair).

I had this problem when i still had emissions testing when i still lived in the city. At a higher idle it went away, so i just raised the idle.

Few weeks ago my car started running like . I got o2's map sensor and tps. After replacing the map sensor it ran normally and o2 codes went away.

How did it fix the issue if the oxygen sensors aren't in the exhaust?

bucking is gone,, something changed.  makes no sense to me other than these are clean and the others are probably dirty?
