Passat (B5) :: P1296 CEL Code - Manufacturer Control Fuel Air Metering

My 02 Passat V6 is throwing this code. I have searched on this forum & the description for this problem is a coolant sensor problem...but my car doesn't exhibit this. The CEL I get is P1296 Manufacturer Control Fuel Air Metering. I ran it on the scan tool before & it threw a different code (which I forgot to write down) but it was basically something about a cylinder misfire...

Occasionally car is VERY difficult or impossible to start. Sometimes I have to wait an hour before retrying before I get it to start. When it does start it blows white smoke & has a VERY rich fuel smell. What could be causing this?

Passat (B5) :: Malfunction Indicator Lamp Reads Manufactured Fuel And Air Metering

So 3 weeks ago, I noticed the malfunction indicator lamp came on. I immediately went to the Auto Zone and have them use the diagostnic device to identify the "malfunction". The device pulls out "p1136 manufactured controlled fuel and air metering." The guy said it could be the gas cap being loose so he loosens it and tightens it. He said he would erase the message and advised me to go to an auto mechanic shop if the lamp light shows up. That evening the light lit up.

I haven't driven that car for approx 3 days then I drove it to go get gas. After I got gas, the light disappeared. I dunno why. It stayed disappeared until several days later. So, i am wondering...is it a big a problem? can i still drive?

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Fuel / Gas Cap Loose And Throwing CEL Regarding Emissions

Twice now I've had my fuel cap/gas cap come loose and throw a CEL regarding emissions. This is fixed by screwing the cap back on and clearing the code. There is no good reason for the fuel cap to unscrew itself so I'm thinking there could be an underlying issue, possibly pressure related.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2003 F250 - How Auxiliary Fuel Tank Works

I recently purchased a 2003 F250 Super Duty with a 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel. The truck came with an auxiliary fuel tank in the bed, but how it works. There is a keyed switch in the cab next to another regular switch, and I have not had the courage to try either of them yet since the whole thing looks like a DIY job. I did look under the truck, and can see what appears to be some sort of solenoid setup.

Just wondering, how it works and if it is safe to operate. I do not see any rollover valve, and want to make sure I do not overfill the tank if I use it.

Ford Fuel System :: Throttle Emissions Control Solenoid Replacement?

Is it possible to take an 'throttle emissions control solenoid" off a 2150 Carburetor and swap it with a different solenoid, say something like an idle swap?? I can't find a new throttle emissions control solenoid, but I see plenty of idle stops.

Passat (B5) :: Auxiliary Fan Is Running On High

So today after I got done working for 9 hours today, I start my car and immediately I hear my auxiliary fan running on high as if I had the AC running. Unfortunately the car was still cold when it started and being that it was in the high 50s when I left work, I had no need to turn the AC on. Why the fan is running on high even when the car is cold. I am wondering if it could be the auxiliary fan switch. And if it is, where exactly is it located.

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Installing Auxiliary Port?

I'm looking to install an auxiliary port into my 2006 Passat 3.6L 4motion and I was wondering what plug in converter would be best to get, what other cables I would need, and where I can buy a flush 3.5mm aux cord for installing in a blank plastic piece next to the gear lever. I'm not looking to buy a converter that charges an iPod.

Accent RB (2012+) :: CEL Popped On - Emissions / Evap Control Valve Leaking Above The Fuel Tank

Check engine light popped on (first time ever) at 76,000 miles. Had my brother read the code with this engine diagnostic tool and it said "Fuel Cap". No big deal...

Take it to Hyundai, nope, not fuel cap... it's an Emissions/Evap control valve leaking above the fuel tank somewhere.

Passat (B5) :: CEL Accompanied By Emissions Workshop Message Came On

I'm the orgional owner of a 2001 Passat 1.8T with manual transmission...It has 93,000 miles on it.
Last week, the check engine light came on and a "Emissions Workshop!" message light came on. It was on for a few days,then disappeared for a few days,only to come back.

I took it to Autozone for a reading. Here's the results:

"The PCM has determined that during testing,the fuel system for bank 1 was too lean.

Definition: Fuel trim bank one condition

Explanation: The powertrain control module uses the oxygen sensor to calculate the air/fuel ratio of the engine.

The computer has recognized a rich or lean condition on one engine bank only.

Probable Causes:1. If bank one and two codes set together fuel pressure or MAF Sensor

2. Oxygen sensor defective

3. Ignition misfire-repair

4. Fuel injector repair.

Someone here asked if my oil was recently changed-It was.

Driveability hasn't been affected,nor has mpg. The car drives as normal.

I need to go on a 1,000 mile trip in a few days,and don't think I'll have time to have the car serviced.

Passat (B5) :: CEL Came On And Emissions Workshop Message Popped Up

I bought a 2000 Passat GLS w/ the V6 a couple weeks ago, and the very next day after buying it, the CEL came on and something popped on saying Emissions Workshop. I waited a couple weeks to see if it would turn off, but it didn't so I took it to a mechanic.

The first time, they just said a couple codes were off so they reset the computer. About 20 miles later, the lights came back on. I took it back and they hooked it up to their computer again.

They said the o2 sensors were perfect, and it was most likely some sort of resistance in one of my cats. The car runs absolutely perfect. I just wanted to get some feedback from ya'll because I do not want to pay the money to have a cat replaced if I don't have to.

Passat (B5) :: Emissions Workshop Light Staying On

My emissions workshop light is staying on now in my passat. I don't have a Vag-Com cable for my laptop yet so I scanned for codes with the generic code scanner at Advance Auto. It came up with something about the downstream 02's low voltage or something close to that. It has just over 100k on it now... is this a common issue with these cars? Is it usually the o2's that are the culprit or is it usually a Cat problem? I replaced the PCV hoses (those crappy wire loom looking pieces that fall apart under the engine covers) with much nicer fuel hose and barb fittings thinking that they might have been the culprit, but that was before I scanned it, it obviously didn't work. 2000 LX 4-Motion...
