Thanks for the input, bought carb cleaner and resprayed. I just discovered a 1.5-inch crack on the rubber pipe that directly connects to the TB - used electrical tape to temporarily seal it. Reset EFI fuse and will test drive again in a bit. Gas mileage sucks, still rough idle. TPS connection is OK.


This is your problem...

With a cracked pipe, unmetered air can enter the system... This causes the lean code.

The computer compensates.

Then, the crack seals temporarily... This creates a sudden rich condition. The rich code is set.

Get a new intake hose.
