Codes C0561, P0171
Haven't posted for quite some time.....
I had forgotten, since I try to do most of my own work when possible, that a dealer coupon special is a good way to get your car in and find a problem you didn't know you had.
I admittedly run cheap gas so when I got a coupon from a local dealer to do a "Motorvac Fuel System Service" at over 25% off, I jumped at it. With 50,000 miles I figured it would be money well spent. 1 1/2 hour estimated time to complete but on the way in my Traction Control warning light came on twice and I made the mistake of telling the service advisor about it.....I digress.
Any how, so three hours later I get a call, unequal pressure at injectors, all 4 injectors need replaced, $440.00, and PCM software update required. So I say NO, all I asked for was the fuel system service.........which still had yet to be done.
So back to my original inquiry, my paper work states codes C0561, and P0171 can one of you tell me what these might mean, I did a search and didn't have any luck finding anything.
