Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Intake vacuum leak (hose, gasket, manifold)
  • Faulty or dirty mass airflow (MAF) or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
  • Low fuel pressure (weak pump, clogged filter, faulty regulator)
  • Partially blocked or leaking fuel injectors
  • Stuck-open EGR valve or excessive EGR flow at idle
  • Faulty or slow idle air control (IAC) / throttle body contamination

Symptoms

  • Rough or high/low unstable idle; engine may stall at idle
  • Check Engine Light (MIL) set with P1124 stored
  • Hesitation or stumble on acceleration from idle
  • Increased crank time or hard starting when hot or cold
  • Possibly reduced fuel economy or misfire codes if severe

What to check

  • Retrieve freeze-frame and all stored DTCs with a scan tool; note engine conditions at fault
  • Visually inspect intake tract, vacuum hoses, PCV line, and intake manifold gaskets for leaks or damage
  • Smoke test intake system to find hidden vacuum leaks
  • Monitor live data at idle: STFT/LTFT, MAF (g/s or V), MAP (kPa), O2 sensor voltages/trim response, IAC position
  • Measure fuel pressure at rail and compare to specification
  • Inspect and clean throttle body and IAC/idle control passages

Signal parameters

  • Short-term fuel trim (STFT) and long-term fuel trim (LTFT) at idle
  • MAF sensor reading (g/s or V) at idle and when revved
  • MAP pressure (kPa) / vacuum at idle
  • O2 sensor voltage and switching frequency (narrowband) or reported lambda (wideband)
  • Fuel rail pressure (psi / bar) at idle and during cranking
  • Idle Air Control (IAC) commanded and actual position

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a scan tool, record freeze-frame data and all related DTCs. Do not assume P1124 is the only issue.
  2. Visually inspect intake plumbing, vacuum hoses, PCV, and throttle body for obvious leaks or disconnections.
  3. Perform an intake smoke test to locate small vacuum leaks; repair any leaks found and clear codes.
  4. With scan tool, monitor STFT/LTFT at idle. Significant positive trims (+10% or more) indicate a lean condition; correlate to MAF/MAP readings.
  5. Check fuel pressure at the rail under static and cranking conditions; compare to manufacturer spec. Repair fuel delivery if low.
  6. Inspect/clean throttle body and IAC passages; verify IAC response and commanded idle steps. Replace if inoperative.
  7. Test MAF and MAP sensors: clean MAF if contaminated, verify MAP voltage/pressure response. Replace if out of specification.
  8. Check O2 sensor operation (voltage swings or lambda) to ensure closed-loop feedback is functioning. Replace slow or failed sensors.
  9. If injectors are suspected, perform injector balance or flow testing and clean/replace as needed.
  10. Inspect EGR/PCV systems for sticking or excessive flow at idle and repair as required.
  11. Repair identified faults, clear codes, and retest under the same conditions that set the code to confirm resolution.

Likely causes

  • Undetected intake vacuum leak around throttle body or manifold
  • Contaminated/throttled throttle body or IAC valve restricting proper idle air control
  • Weak fuel pressure due to failing pump or clogged filter
  • MAF or MAP providing incorrect airflow data (dirty or failed)
  • Open or leaking PCV/EGR system allowing excess air into intake
  • O2 sensor slow to respond or out of range at idle skewing fuel trims

Fault status

⚠️ Status
PCM detected a lean condition during idling (too much air or too little fuel). The MIL is stored and relevant freeze-frame data recorded; further diagnosis required to find source of excess air or insufficient fueling.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 1.5 - 3.0 hours

  11. Repair identified faults, clear codes, and retest under the same conditions that set the code to confirm resolution.

Likely causes

  • Undetected intake vacuum leak around throttle body or manifold
  • Contaminated/throttled throttle body or IAC valve restricting proper idle air control
  • Weak fuel pressure due to failing pump or clogged filter
  • MAF or MAP providing incorrect airflow data (dirty or failed)
  • Open or leaking PCV/EGR system allowing excess air into intake
  • O2 sensor slow to respond or out of range at idle skewing fuel trims

Fault status

⚠️ Status
PCM detected a lean condition during idling (too much air or too little fuel). The MIL is stored and relevant freeze-frame data recorded; further diagnosis required to find source of excess air or insufficient fueling.

Throttle Position Sensor Out Of Self Test Range

Brand: Other
Views: UK: 20 EN: 34 RU: 20
AI status
Completed
ready
Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Intake vacuum leak (hose, gasket, manifold)
  • Faulty or dirty mass airflow (MAF) or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
  • Low fuel pressure (weak pump, clogged filter, faulty regulator)
  • Partially blocked or leaking fuel injectors
  • Stuck-open EGR valve or excessive EGR flow at idle
  • Faulty or slow idle air control (IAC) / throttle body contamination

Symptoms

  • Rough or high/low unstable idle; engine may stall at idle
  • Check Engine Light (MIL) set with P1124 stored
  • Hesitation or stumble on acceleration from idle
  • Increased crank time or hard starting when hot or cold
  • Possibly reduced fuel economy or misfire codes if severe

What to check

  • Retrieve freeze-frame and all stored DTCs with a scan tool; note engine conditions at fault
  • Visually inspect intake tract, vacuum hoses, PCV line, and intake manifold gaskets for leaks or damage
  • Smoke test intake system to find hidden vacuum leaks
  • Monitor live data at idle: STFT/LTFT, MAF (g/s or V), MAP (kPa), O2 sensor voltages/trim response, IAC position
  • Measure fuel pressure at rail and compare to specification
  • Inspect and clean throttle body and IAC/idle control passages

Signal parameters

  • Short-term fuel trim (STFT) and long-term fuel trim (LTFT) at idle
  • MAF sensor reading (g/s or V) at idle and when revved
  • MAP pressure (kPa) / vacuum at idle
  • O2 sensor voltage and switching frequency (narrowband) or reported lambda (wideband)
  • Fuel rail pressure (psi / bar) at idle and during cranking
  • Idle Air Control (IAC) commanded and actual position

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a scan tool, record freeze-frame data and all related DTCs. Do not assume P1124 is the only issue.
  2. Visually inspect intake plumbing, vacuum hoses, PCV, and throttle body for obvious leaks or disconnections.
  3. Perform an intake smoke test to locate small vacuum leaks; repair any leaks found and clear codes.
  4. With scan tool, monitor STFT/LTFT at idle. Significant positive trims (+10% or more) indicate a lean condition; correlate to MAF/MAP readings.
  5. Check fuel pressure at the rail under static and cranking conditions; compare to manufacturer spec. Repair fuel delivery if low.
  6. Inspect/clean throttle body and IAC passages; verify IAC response and commanded idle steps. Replace if inoperative.
  7. Test MAF and MAP sensors: clean MAF if contaminated, verify MAP voltage/pressure response. Replace if out of specification.
  8. Check O2 sensor operation (voltage swings or lambda) to ensure closed-loop feedback is functioning. Replace slow or failed sensors.
  9. If injectors are suspected, perform injector balance or flow testing and clean/replace as needed.
  10. Inspect EGR/PCV systems for sticking or excessive flow at idle and repair as required.
  11. Repair identified faults, clear codes, and retest under the same conditions that set the code to confirm resolution.
