P0171 P0174 LEAN C63

Replaced the Gasket, Bolts, PCV Valve. Still throwing up codes. Everytime i clear it the whole car starts shaking bugging out sometimes even dies unless i give it a rev. My question is what can it be for such a rough idle, it idles at 1k unless the air conditioner is on. Getting very poor mpg even in Comfort mode. This is my last straw with this car sadly. If i cant fix it im going to say my farewells with this car.

Maybe try O2 sensors. Make sure all the vacuum connections are installed properly since you disconnected them to take the intake mani off.

Did you inspect the throttle bodies? The plate is know to crack and let air through it.

they sell metal plates on Ebay for 250 if it's broken or I have an OEM one for 300 if you want it. I also have 2 OEM throttle bodies if they are the problem

Unfortunately you need to take the whole thing apart again.

the oil eats up the tb plate and cracks it

Yes, big time!! Since the ECU uses it to control the mixture.

If you need oem amg throttle bodies and the oem plate that can crack and leak I have a set. I upgraded to 82mm throttle bodies with new bigger plate.
