Trouble codes
Hello all:
I have a few questions to run by you all. Over the weekend I was towing my fifth wheel to the coast, about 200 miles away. I had a check engine light come on while compression braking down a grade. When I arrived, I ran down to a local parts house and "borrowed" a scanner to diagnose the problem. The computer threw a P1511 code (if memory serves me correctly). Can anyone tell me what that means? From the limited information that I could get from the store, I am thinking O2 sensors. Any input would be of use. Additional possibilities included low/high fuel pressure, vacume leaks, or dirty MAF sensor. My truck is a 97 F-250 w/460. A mechanic friend of mine recomended I buy Ford replacement O2 sensors for it due to these trucks being "brand fickle" on the sensors.
Thanks for any help
