The test passed all except the EML, as stated, I needed to do a drive cycle to get the system to reset. I did a drive cycle (2 minute idle, 3 minutes 20-30mph, 15 minutes 50-60, stop and idle for 5 minutes in gear) and I drove my car home no problems. A few hours later, I turned it on, and immediately knew something was wrong. The car was idling rough, and when I tried to take off, it lurched and started driving like a 15 year old learning stick. I parked it and left it overnight until this morning when I decided to start an inspection. I checked the oil, (it was low) and added what was needed. I checked the air filter (K&N oiled air filter) it looked clean. I turned it on, and still that rough idle. I took it for a quick drive around the block and it was just hesitating everywhere. I about wanted to cry at the frustration (this is my only vehicle for work, and I work tommorrow!). It gave me 3 codes and they are:

P0171
P0174
P0732

Why did they pop up all of a sudden? Did the fucker at the smog shop do something on purpose to fuck up my vehicle? I need help. I replaced the alternator on this a few months back, so if I have to tackle something in the engine, I will do it. I just want my car fixed, and ASAP. Any ideas friends? Please, help. I am desperate.
are these consistent with low fuel pressure?

DISA was faulty, that is a fact... could faulty DISA contribute to continuing of the symptoms?

I wish you had INPA to monitor live engine data... I am trying to remember from my car, if the INPA registers the fuel pressure - i know it displays mass and temp of the air...

it might not help you right now, but for future reference, once you are up and running, consider getting INPA and the rest of the software tools...

do we have any members with INPA who are close enough to diddy?
