Code 0174

Ok guy so I just got this mail on my 2008 tls auto at 70kmileage
The engine came on but went away the next morning I started it the code was p0174 I got it right after I install my led DRL
And I notice my mpg has dropped to a 11-3rate usually it is like 15-17

System too lean (Bank 2) - I do not believe this has anything to do with your recent install of led DRL.

Sounds to me like maybe a vacuum leak or maybe even a O2 sensor. Might have hit something while installing.

It still sounds like a lazy O2 sensor that is about to/already has died.

I had P0174 and my code came on and off throughout the weeks. I ended up buying a new downstream Bank2 sensor and replaced it. Code hasn't came back since.

If it were a minor vacuum leak, I don't think your gas mileage would suffer as much as you are describing. If the vacuum leak was bad enough TO cause bad gas mileage, I think you would also be throwing a P0171.

Here's the service manual scan for P0174, if you need it.

adjust the valves first then replace the injectors if that doesn't work but valve adjustment has fixed it 99% of the time.

is it cold out? my 08 type s does this at least once a month. but its cold out and my car idles every mornign to warm up. only does it in the winter months. i just clear the codes and continue on with my day. mpg is probably a coincidence. ive never noticed a change with that code.
