What does the OBD-2 error code p-0014 mean?

The OBD-II error code P-0014 is typically related to an over adjusted timing issue detected by the camshaft sensor as opposed to a damaged sensor itself, which leads me to think that it’s either… Read more

What does the p0014 code mean on an engine?

What the P0014 code means. P0014 is the OBD-II generic code that the engine control module (ECM) has determined that the bank 1 exhaust camshaft is more advanced than what the ECM has commanded it be. This over-advanced condition could be during advancing or retarding of the camshaft timing.

Why does my car stumble when I open the throttle?

If there are no misfire codes, a common cause of acceleration stumble is a bad throttle position sensor (TPS). The TPS tells the computer how far the throttle is open. The computer uses this information to determine how much fuel is needed to maintain the correct air/fuel mixture and when extra fuel is needed if the throttle suddenly opens wide.

How can I tell if my fuel system is p0174?

The first step in the diagnosis of a code P0174 is to look at a minimum of three ranges of the Long Term Fuel Trim numbers on a scanner. Check the idle reading—3000 RPM unloaded and 3000 RPM with at least 50 percent load.

What to do if your check engine light says p0014?

Check to see if there are any other codes along with P0014 and clear your Check Engine Light with FIXD. Check the engine oil level and condition. If it’s low, adjust to spec and test drive to see if the concern is resolved. If it’s dirty, change the oil and filter and test drive to see if the concern is resolved.

Can a bad check engine light be a bad TPS?

The check engine light will randomly turn on and off even if the car is running smoothly without any jerks and stalling. This is often the first ever symptom of a bad TPS. Using a code reader, you should be able to confirm whether a faulty TPS is the culprit or a different component.
