Would you elaborate on it seems though as it doesn't want to start?
I had the that code and its most likely (though not entirely) a problem with the MAF sensor. How many miles do you have?

when i drive the car the check engine light pops up thats when i put on the odb handheld and it stated fuel trim malfuntion 1st and 2nd baank.well it doesnt want to start i had it towed and as soon as the towtruck dropped my car off the thing started. i put fuel injection cleaner in it and it started up today so im wondering if its the feul filters.
