Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) internal circuitry can identify if the vehicle fuel system is capable of supplying adequate amounts of fuel during heavy acceleration (power enrichment). When a power enrichment mode of operation is requested during a Closed Loop operation (by heavy acceleration), the PCM provides additional fuel to the engine. Under these conditions, the PCM should detect a rich condition. Whenever this rich exhaust is not detected, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1171 sets. A plugged fuel filter or restricted fuel line can prevent adequate amounts of fuel from being supplied during power enrichment mode.
