Another "Service Engine Soon"
I've done some searching and haven't found my problem yet, so I'll post it and face any "Why don't you use the search button!" ridicule I get.
I have a 2003 F150 SuperCrew. 4x4. 5.4. It has 27,200 miles on it, and I'm the original owner. About 2 weeks ago, I got the LOF at Valvoline. Two days later my S.E.S. light came on. The truck runs fine, mileage hasn't changed, etc, etc.
I went to Auto Zone today to have the codes pulled. Two codes, both telling me that I'm running too rich (one for left bank, one for right bank). No, I didn't write the numbers down; that would have made WAY too much sense.
Any thoughts (other than keep searching?) I have a shop that I trust, and they'd probably plug it into their machine to give me a better idea. Just wondering if I should try something else before paying them a visit.
Thanks!

There is a few scenarios that will give rich codes. If I was to look in a particular area, I would start with your coolant system. If the pcm sees cold temperatures, it richens up the fuel/air mixture to accellerate warming up. If you can get to a scanner that will show you the data stream, look at the ect sensor. If it was unplugged, it will show something like -420 degrees. That will give you an idea how that can change the pcm response.
