Default Lean CEL Fixed ! (Code 17544)

<center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/A4orce84/IMG_0616.jpg"></center><p>Hey Guys,

Just wanted to update you all on my lean code I was receiving. Some of you may remember that I had this ever since installing my Labree HFC and I was going crazy. I also had a busted check valve but did not really consider it an issue at the time.

Several of you recommended cleaning/testing the MAF as that would probably be the most likely culprit. However, after cleaning it the CEL still came up.

I was bangin my head against the wall, but thought I'd go ahead and replace the check-valve. It immediately cured my problem! Everything was smooth again at idle and the CEL hasn't come back yet.

So I'm happy to report that those of you who suggested it may be the check valve were right on the money. I guess during the Labree HFC install it snapped off, but now everything is HOPEFULLY back to normal.

Thanks again everyone, I greatly appreciate all your time and help! =)
