Hey guys I have a increase emissions screen and a P0174 code (autozone) it has a few different things it could be on the print out they gave me.. My car kinda shakes a little I feel too. What's do all think? Could gas cause it? I went to a mom n pop gas station on the way home a few days ago and everything was fine b4 then.

p0174 pertains to an airleak somwhere after the air mass sensor. Your car shaking would be one of the symptoms. You can start the diagnosis by cleaning your mass airflow sensor, and see if that improves the situation. You didn't mention which engine you have , but aging airboots are a common cause on the i6 engines. If you are taking apart that settion, it would also help if you took out the idle control valve and cleaned it up.

It might help if we know what engine you got.

P0174 per my codekey (fault reader), it says "System too lean Bank 2" Hope this helps.

I've worked on my car quite a bit, but those parts I've never had to change, any idea where those are located?
