so i had a litle fun in the clay today ..and now my trucks check engine lights on ..i have a code reader im running a P0172 P01275 P2106 Ive cleaned the MAF and changed my air filter...still running the three codes after words no trouble with turning over starts right up and drives with a normal amount of power....its a 2004 5.4L V8 Any thoughts?????

 

Drive by wire ? Those are throttle control codes .

 

how would i go about checking/fixing those?

 

clean the TB really good.

 

this is my first truck i used to be a jeep guy whats a TB?

 

TB = throttle body . Clean good but be careful , don't use harsh cleaners . Do not pressure wash engine , unless you want to work on it !

 

i have the cleaner for the MAF can i use that you think??

 

Yes , or brake clean . Carb cleaner can do damage .

 

last question im a young guy is this a easy task or am i gonna be better off taking it somewhere and letting them deal with it?

 

I would try it first . Look for threads on throttle body cleaning . Not so hard . If you still have an issue , look for help .

 

THANK YOU for the help im gonna give it a try !! id be screwed without the internet ..thats my ride to work haha

 

Good luck , let us know what happens .

 

well cleaned out the throttle body and the sensors truck backfires and misfires when getting going but as soon as it does the truck runs like a champ im lost not
