Affected Component
Engine
Estimated Time
2-4 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before opening the air intake or fuel systems to avoid burns.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Rough idle
  • •Loss of power during acceleration
  • •Poor fuel economy
  • •Increased emissions
  • •Engine stalling during low RPMs

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to confirm the P0174 code and check for any additional codes.
  2. 2Inspect the air intake system for vacuum leaks, including hoses and gaskets.
  3. 3Check the fuel pressure using a fuel pressure gauge to ensure it matches manufacturer specifications.
  4. 4Examine the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor for dirt or damage and perform a cleaning if necessary.
  5. 5Inspect the fuel injectors for proper operation and any signs of clogging or leakage.
  6. 6Review the engine's PCV system for blockages or failures that could cause a lean condition.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during repairs.

2. Inspect and Repair Air Intake System

  • Sub-steps:

    1. Visually inspect all vacuum hoses connected to the intake manifold for cracks or disconnections.
    2. Replace any damaged hoses or gaskets as needed.
    3. Check the throttle body and clean it if there is any buildup of carbon deposits.
  • Tools Required:

    • Screwdrivers
    • Pliers

3. Check and Clean MAF Sensor

  • Sub-steps:

    1. Locate the MAF sensor within the air intake duct.
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the sensor from its housing.
    3. Use MAF cleaner to spray the sensor element gently and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
  • Tools Required:

    • MAF cleaner
    • Torx screwdriver (if applicable)

4. Test Fuel Pressure

  • Sub-steps:

    1. Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail.
    2. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting to check the pressure reading.
    3. Compare the reading to manufacturer specifications (typically between 50-65 psi for the Genesis G70).
    4. If the pressure is low, inspect the fuel pump and filter for issues.
  • Tools Required:

    • Fuel pressure gauge

5. Inspect and Test Fuel Injectors

  • Sub-steps:

    1. Remove the fuel injectors from their rail.
    2. Check for clogs using a multimeter to test resistance (should be within manufacturer specs).
    3. Clean or replace any faulty injectors.
  • Tools Required:

    • Multimeter
    • Injector cleaner kit
