If this indicator comes on while driving, there is a problem with your engine or its emission control systems. Even though you may feel no difference in your car's performance, it can reduce your fuel economy and cause your car to put out excessive emissions. Continued operation may cause serious engine damage.

Some 2005 Taurus and Sable vehicles equipped with a 3.0L 2V and some 2003-
2005 Lincoln LS vehicles equipped with a 3.0L 4V engine may exhibit a vacuum
leakage noise or lean codes and/or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on. The
cause may be a leak at the 0-ring on the intake manifold tuning (IMT) valve.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

Some vehicles, may exhibit drivability conditions. These may include: • No start • Difficult to start • Stall • Low idle • Rough idle • High idle • Hesitation/surge while accelerating or at steady speed
These conditions may be intermittent with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and no Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). In some cases DTC and MIL may be evident.

This article is intended to aid in diagnosing DTC’s P0171, P0174, P1130, P1131, P1150, P1151, P2195, or P2197 (system lean or lack of HEGO switches) when a vacuum leak is present. HEGO sensors, MAF sensors, and PCM replacements are not an effective repair when a vacuum leak is causing the above DTC’s.
ACTION
Perform the following inspections/repairs when the above codes are found in memory. Procedure provides instructions on how to make comparisons of the total fuel corrections (using scan tool or equivalent) at idle and high RPM’s to help determine if a vacuum leak is the root cause of the DTC’s.

Test Preparation for DTC Readout
Note: A stored DTC is erased, if the connector of the 4MATIC control module (N30/3) is unplugged or if the battery is disconnected.
1. Engine: At idle.
2. Read DTC memory of 4MATIC control module (N30/3). See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Transfer Case\Testing and Inspection\Scan Tool
