assuming that it should have been diesel then clean out the fuel lines and replace the filters and a few litres of petrol in the tank will mix in with the diesel
if it is a petrol and you put in diesel then it is not so critical as the diesel will mix with the petrol and the oil in the diesel will act as upper cylinder lubricant so up to 5 litres left will be ok
it is located on the inlet for the throttlebody on a section between the
throttlebody and the air intake tube from the airbox. Do you have a North American model or a European model? The European model
didn't require an IAT sensor. Just the North American model to meet EPA
requirements. If it's a North Americal model, the sensor should be located in
the air cleaner and have 2 small hoses attatched to it. have a good day !!
Well i need to know what engine it has & there's no such part called a throttle body sensor. There's a throttle postion sensor. As far as interchangable parts,you can try one from a '96.
I just worked on this problem a couple of days ago. If the motor is a 3.0 liter. The idle control valve is located at the bottom of the throttlebody assembly right below the bore for the throttle butterflies..What usually causes this valve to go bad is the mechanical part of the sensor sticks as it becomes sludged or carboned up. Manufacturer claims that the valve cannot be cleaned and should only be replaced....It's a high dollar repair to replace this sensor as your engine coolant flows through this electrical valve. The valve idles the car fast when cold, as the antifreeze gets hot the valve drops the idle down.....I have successfully cleaned several of these valves and cured the dying problems...
First remove the air filter top cover and the tubes that connect to the throttlebody. In the right throttlebody you will see a port right before the butterfly. Under the throttlebody you have a black plastic sensor with a 2 wire terminal. Remove the 2 phillps screws and pull off the electrical part of the valve. you will feel a magnetic pull while removing. Remove slowly and catch the black sealing oring, and there will be a metal washer also.. The shaft that is exposed is the mechanical control of the valve. Rotate the shaft and it should feel sticky if bad..Using a throttlebody spray cleaner spray into the small square port of the right bore, rotate shaft and spray until stickfree.....Reassemble
i will try to help. 171/174 indicates lean condition in engine. the mass air flow sensor is located in the rubber tube going to throttlebody. you can try to clean it. using mild carb cleaner safe for sensors, remove sensor from tube. spray clean the tiny wires located in the cylinder. do not touch them, they are very delicate. these engines are also notorious for leaking intake gaskets and faulty pcv valves. these will all set these 2 codes. feel free with anymore questions.
