So, my daughter calls it dimensions...when I forget things, I've keep forgetting to ask the forum, ...When the car went in last week, it had these codes, that came from a professional code reader.
Some of them may no longer be valid, for example, I have not had a stalling incident since I cleaned the MAS and changed air cleaner, but I would like to know what they are. Thanks in advance,
Terry

you need to clear those codes and drive the car for a while to learn what are current codes and what are old codes.

The reason I say that is I have never seen legit lean and rich codes for the same bank at the same time.

Clear the codes, drive the car about 3 days, then check codes again and let us know what is there then.

best way to clear is by pulling off your jumper wire while the codes are still flashing.

the factory says disconnecting the battery for a minimum of 5 minutes will clear them, but I had at least one SHO that would take much longer disconnected to actually clear them.

also, if you pull off the jumper wire, it will clear the codes but not lose all the adaptive learning for idle and a/f ratios, whereas if you pull off the battery cable all that adaptive learning stuff will be lost and it will take a few days or more to re-learn it all.
