Dreaded P0171 code!!! W245 B150 2009
as we know its a frustrating code as there are so many issues that can trigger it - initially are there common issues with the b150 specifically that relate to this code?
symptoms, starts no problem, runs and idles well, however if you restart the engine light pops on, and the idle fluctuates pulsing up and down 500 to 1000rpm, this settles back to normal after a minute or so.
Driving is normal, but a few seconds after stopping the revs shoots up to 2000 drops back down instantly and sits comfortably at 800rpm.
there seems to been a lot of moisture in the manifold, I’ve looked for a maf sensor but nothing i recognise as maf sensor?
Changed the Air Temperature Sensor for intake tube, tried to clean the sensor that lays beneath it (not sure of the sensor name)…
looked for leaks in the vacuum hoses.
oddly on occasion, the engine light switches itself off?
on occasion the code is t recognised?
very frustrating and would appreciate some help..?
Name?
Air temp sensor
Notice tbe two variables after the code - those additional numbers and symbols mean something and they are different for the same code

also posting pictures of the scanner after driving but still not getting readings from various sensors? Maybe I’ve not completed the necessary run for these to read…
