Infamous Vague Code P1174

Hi y'all...it's been awhile. I have a new project that has been keeping me busy. We bought a vintage camper that we have been trying to renovate and make our own. It's slowly getting there. Anywho...

On my journey down to the lake late Thursday night...as soon as I filled my tank "Vixen" threw the P1174 code. I did a little research on the code. But I wanted to come here and see if there has been a consistent spot where the problem seems to be?

I remember when my spark plugs were replaced...oil was found. I haven't pulled the spark plugs yet because it's been a crazy hot, humid and a stormy weekend.

I caught a break Friday night. A severe thunderstorm was heading our way. I left to run an errand. When I returned a huge tree was down that landed where I had been parked.


I put my cowboy hat on the base to give perspective on how big it is! I had been parked under the trees to keep "Vixen" in the shade.

Hello, Ronnie, nice to see you, glad you moved your HHR! As for that code read thru this also

https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/prob...balance-43947/

Rockauto has the injectors, I recommend the AC Delco parts,

of course you can possibly get a ey of 4 for less on EBay

Or you can simply clean the injectors.

Thanks for the info guys. I will definitely look at all of that.

I forgot about the other issue I have been having. The A.C. will blow cold and then warm air. Is that a confessor issue? My 🤠 had put Freon in months ago. So I'm confident that isn't the issue.

If your friend put freon in, then it must have a leak for it to have been low.
If the leak wasn't fixed, then it may have leaked down again.

Low Freon must be investigated, checked for leaks. It might be a compressor issue, or a joint oring leaking, could be a pin hole in the condenser.
Either way have it inspected, first . Don’t waste Freon
