Lots of possibilities. You may have a vacuum leak, allowing extra air into your engine. Cracked hoses or even a crack in the main intake hose from the air filter can cause this code. Also possible that you aren’t getting enough fuel to run a balanced air fuel ratio. Could be a plugged fuel filter, pump failing, failing fuel pressure regulator as well. Or, it’s possible that your oxygen sensor is worn out and lying to the computer altogether. Also leaks in the exhaust system between the engine and oxygen sensor can set this code as well.

1984 Ford F 350 with a 351m vacuum Diagram
Hello, here is a vacuum diagram for a vintage big block mustang with no emissions, it will work on a 2 barrel or a 4 barrel carburetor, if you run your lines like this and get rid of the other BS it will run sooo much better, also you can delete the blue stripe wire if you have an aftermarket air cleaner.
best of luck!

I have a 06 Grand. None of the keyless entry's would work. My son had some kind of Bluetooth for his phone plugged into the right power outlet. Unplugged the Bluetooth and all remotes work just fine. Plugged it back in just to verify and none of the remotes work. It must have some type of security built into it prevent to doors from being locked and draining the battery.

My mazda 3 2012 had its battery die from old age 6 months ago. Replaced the battery twice and it keeps dying. Found out theres a parasitic drain coming from the "room" fuse in the car.
Your car is probably less of a car than you imagine and more of a wheeled computer.
It isn't wise to make electrical equipment changes and best practice regarding accessories is to wire independently from the battery and protect each circuit with an additional fuse, leaving the vehicle wiring intact and completely standard.
You will need a circuit diagram of the car as an essential aid to troubleshooting which will tell you how many individual circuits are fed by the fuse and you can isolate each circuit in turn - not a task for the faint-hearted.
As a matter of interest, how big is the parasitic drain and how are you measuring it and how long does it take for your battery to discharge? Modern vehicles do have circuits that need to be kept alive and they consume current constantly. When first connecting the battery there is quite a current surge but it soon settles at a few milliamps, about the same as the battery self-discharge.
If you can't accurately measure the size of the drain (always the best starting point) you can calculate the approximate drain using the battery capacity and how much a fully charged battery discharges in any time period, say, 24 hours.
Finally, are you certain the alternator is charging sufficiently to keep a fully charged battery fully charged? The car alternator isn't designed to recharge a battery and mostly isn't capable of it unless you are driving almost constantly for days...
