Discovery Series 1 4.0 V8 'Check Engine' Question
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 6:05 pm
I've got a US spec 1997 Discovery V8 automatic (called Ming).
It's been putting on the yellow (non flashing) Check Engine light.
I tried out a new OBD2 scanner and I'm getting codes P1172 and P1179. In human language that means the car is running too rich in both banks and there is a 'Maximum Negative AMFR Correction Fault'. The car still seems to drive fine. I ran some further tests and I think the O2 sensors are good, but I may not have been reading it properly.
I've done a little googling and 'they' say the MAF sensor may need cleaning/replacing and/or there may be a leak in the air induction system. It also seems that a decent tune up is in order.
Any suggestions? Any tips/tricks of the trade on how one would begin on this job list? Suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance. :D
P.S. Oil has recently been changed. All fluids are topped up.
