I have an 08 TL-S, I just swapped my stock rims with my 19 inch MRR GT1's and so after i replaced them, my navi displayed this message saying "Emissions system: P0171, There may be a problem with your emissions system....Call your acura dealer...." Has this ever happened to anyone? Last time i had a bizarre message like this was when i had my HID's installed with 7,000 miles on my car and the navi told me I'm having transmission problems and to call acura. Do these problems have anything to do with the car being put on a lift? (Weird but the only time i have problems is when the car is put on a lift)

i dont think putting on ur new rims would cause a p0171 code because a p0171 code means that your system bank 1 is lean, this has nothign to do with your wheels. its not your rims fault, you have a dirty mass air flow sensor or a leaking vacuum line, or your engine is just running lean for some reason. I would call up the dealership and get that code looked it before you do more damage like burn out a converter

yah, its weird that it would happen two times, are you going to the same place? maybe they are opening up your hood and taking a look at your sweet engine and mite knock something loose

This is a known problem on most TL-S even mine. Code comes on by itself and goes off by itself. Acura is aware of the problem and have a TSB on it. Ignore it or if it bothers yo look at the TSB 3g tl thread to find the TSB and show it to an Acura dealership.
