Hyundai Repair: error code, mass air flow sensor, mass air flow
QuestionI have a 2001 Hyundai Accent 1.5L with 65000 miles. P1123 manufacturer control fuel air metering code keeps coming up. I have replaced the mass air flow sensor, throttle positioning sensor and had a complete tune uo done at a professional garage. Any suggestions? They also recommended a new timing belt because Accents are known for breaking them around 60 - 70k. Is this true?
AnswerP1123 indicates the engine control module (ECM) perceives a rich condition. I'd suggest primarily investigating two possibilities:
-- Stuck open purge valve. This will cause fuel vapors to be sucked into the engine through the valve, creating an actual rich condition.
-- Upstream oxygen sensor erroneously reading rich. If this is the case, I'd expect the downstream oxygen sensor to have normal or lean readings. You'd need a scan tool to check this.
