I have a 2000 windstar 3.8. rough idle after start up. Checked code reader p0174 (bank 2 lean) what causes that? What can be the prblem?

If you're experiencing a rough idle in your 2011 Nissan Altima, the first thing you should do is diagnose the issue. The Torque app can provide you with some diagnostic codes which can help you narrow down the problem. In your case, two current fault codes and two pending fault codes were recorded. The current fault codes point to a system that is running too lean on Bank 2 and misfiring in multiple cylinders. The pending codes indicate a system that is too lean on Bank 1 and a cylinder 2 misfire.
To start troubleshooting, you should begin by checking the spark plugs and ignition coils. Both of these components are integral to the proper functioning of the engine. If they are faulty, they can cause misfiring and rough idling. You should also inspect the mass air flow sensor, as a faulty one can throw off the air-fuel ratio of the engine.
Finally, if the problem still persists after inspecting the spark plugs, ignition coils, and mass air flow sensor, then you should consider consulting a professional mechanic for further diagnosis. They can provide a more accurate assessment of the issue and recommend the best course of action.

Check your fuel pressure, early 2000 rams are notorious for fuel pump issues. They start but run rough or lack power.
Were the lean codes for both banks 1 and 2? (P0171 and P0174)

P1131 Lack of HO2S-11 Switch ,Sensor Lean
P1151-Lack of HO2S-21 Switch ,Sensor Lean
PO171- System to Lean (Bank 1)
PO174-Systen to Lean (Bank 2)

Fuel Filter -Plugged
Low Fuel Pressure
Evap System -Leaks
Leaks - in ducting,air filter to throttle
PCV -Leaks
Exhaust System -Leaks
O2 Sensors-worn out

A P0174 lean code for bank 2 is the cylinder bank on the LEFT (driver) side of the engine on Ford vehicles with a transverse-mounted V6 engine and front-wheel drive. This code is not set on four cylinder engines (no bank 2).
WHAT A LEAN CODE MEANS
A lean fuel condition may exist if the engine is sucking in too much air and/or the fuel system is not delivering enough fuel. If bad enough, a lean fuel condition may cause lean misfire, a rough idle, hesitation or stumble when accelerating, and/or poor engine performance . Unmetered air can enter the engine through a vacuum leak, a dirty airflow sensor that is not reading airflow accurately, an EGR valve is not closing and is leaking exhaust into the intake manifold, an EGR valve that is allowing too much flow (because the EGR differential pressure sensor that monitors EGR flow is faulty and is under-reporting EGR flow).
If the problem is not enough fuel, the underling cause may be a weak fuel pump, restricted fuel filter, leaky fuel pressure regulator or dirty fuel injectors.

P0171 and P0174 are lean codes. They do not mean the 02 sensors are bad. The most common cause for this especially when both banks are lean is the plenum gaskets in between the plenum and the heads. They will start to leak and cause a vacuum leak. When they leak bad enough it will flag lean codes and eventually the vehicle will start to idle rough and eventually not idle at all.

Replacing the gaskets will usually fix this problem. Sometime the intake plenum will warp and need to be replaced as well. Replacing the O2 sensors will not fix this problem.

code P0761-
Possible causes - Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Faulty shift solenoid 3 valve
- Shift solenoid 3 valve harness or connectors
- Shift solenoid 3 valve circuit is open or shorted
P0761 FORD Description Shift solenoid valve 3 is turned ON or OFF by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch, vehicle speed and Engine Control Module (ECM) (throttle opening). Gears will then be shifted to the optimum position. When is the code detected? The P0761 code is detected when the ECM has detected a mechanical fault with the solenoid energized, valve stuck off code O1744- is not a code these are the ones I have found that come close
P0174 1999 FORD WINDSTAR Fuel Injection System Too Lean Bank 2 P0174 2000 FORD WINDSTAR Fuel Injection System Too Lean Bank 2 P0174 2001 FORD WINDSTAR Fuel Injection System Too Lean Bank 2 P0174 2002 FORD WINDSTAR Fuel Injection System Too Lean Bank 2 P0174 2003 FORD WINDSTAR Fuel Injection System Too Lean Bank 2 P0174 FORD Fuel Injection System Too Lean Bank 2

P0171 indicates a lean condition. The most common cause of this is a defective mass air flow sensor. Also check if any vacuum leaks. P0174 OBD-II Trouble Code

Technical Description

System Too Lean (Bank 2)

What does that mean?

Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in bank 2 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust.

Note: This DTC is very similar to P0171, and in fact your vehicle may show both codes at the same time.

Thanks.

p0171 indicates the system is running lean on bank 1,p0174 means the system is running to lean on bank 2 p1507 is an idle speed under run fault i'd suspect an air leak is the cause of your problem check air intake system for airleaks

Those codes are for the oxygen sensors, lean fuel mixture on both banks. Change them, problem with stalling and rough idle should go away.

i had asimiliar misfire on my 2000 windstar.the first thing to check is a broken valve spring by taking off the valve cover the other is a o2 sensor bank 2 i believe is the downstream.if not the valve spring then either the coil pack or thecontrol module. either way it is fairly inexspensive
