Default '94 V6 Check Engine Light

Hi all. I have just registered and am hoping to get some input from you guys who may have experienced my dilemma. I have a 1994 Mustang 6 cyl with trouble codes 171 and 174. I can't seem to solve the problem. My check engine light keeps coming on. The engine is running lean. Fuel pressure is good. Fuel regulator is good. No vacuum leaks. EGR valve is good. Positive crankcase ventilation is good. New vacuum hoses. Any ideas?? I'd love it if somebody out there has had this problem and can offer a solution! Thanks!

The fastest way is probably shooting the Personal Message.

I have the same codes on my '96. I've had a mechanic diagnos this as a leak in my upper and lower intake. This would require some work to pull the thing and re-gasket. The car runs fine otherwise. For about 3 weeks, without my having done a thing, the CEL went out and and stayed out until on a hard acceleration 2 days ago it came back on, same codes. I haven't pulled the intake yet, my 'stang gets a power pack when it comes out of storage next spring and then I'll do that work. Just don't want to pull the top off twice [not in the budget] and I'm only offering this as an answer for you based on what my mechanic said, 'cause I was in the dark until then myself. Tell ya what though, I'm gonna put a new gasket under the Plennum and see if it does the trick. I'll let ya know!
