A drive for dinner in the wife's ride, then a ride in the truck tonight for a quick trip to the store.

Found fuel for 2.16 in west florida. It 2.69 around indiana

 

Sleeping in it. 42 degrees outside is good sleeping in truck weather.

Easy fix, don't sell it yet.

Easy fix?

Someone translate codes please.

Sound like EVAP codes to me. Stupid useless system. It's good at cleaning out your wallet in states that test for emissions, though ...

 

I get to try and fix a "small leak" on a '06 Impala today. I'd better find some blood pressure medication ...

 

 

Ahh correction - those are lean codes, bank 1 and bank 2. WTF? On a '10 ???

Both banks lean. I'd start by testing fuel psi.

 

Evap isn't all bad, for one thing your fuel doesn't go stale as fast. Very easy system to troubleshoot and fix in my limited experience with it.

Yes bank 1 and 2 lean truck is running fine

That's what I hate the most about OBD-II. The thing runs fine, so the light is on due to emissions. Now if you live where they don't test, then it's all good. But, if it's sticker time, now you've got to waste time fixing it. That burns my ass ....

 

 

 

 

 

Every EVAP system I've tried to fix was like finding a needle in a haystack. Without a bi-directional scan tool or a smoke machine, it's a matter of guessing correctly. I'd have better luck getting struck by lightning while winning the MA state lottery at the same time ...

 

I might try to rig up my 2-stroke leak down tester on the filler neck & see what I come up with. Finding a 1 psi leak should be fun even still ... Might just throw a gas cap at it and hope for the best ...

Gonna suck if you find out E85 is causing system problems even with an FF truck. That won't be good news for anyone.

 

Hope it's something simple.

 

 

Dump in a few cans of seafoam and BG44K and run it hard and hope for the best?

I am thinking dump O2 sensors and add some headers. No inspections here

Nice - you're lucky!

 

Good news for me - just found the codes on that Impala are bank 1 sensor 2 codes (o2 sensor).

 

Gotta love OBD-II! Sensor has no bearing on how the engine runs, but because we live in MA, the 85 year old owner on a fixed income gets to shell out $68 for a new one (wiring and fuse good). Needs a sticker by end of month.
