Mixture control idle - cylinder 5 - 8
So while I was scanning for the airbag code this morning I decided to scan for other faults, and the following error came up "Mixture control idle - cylinder 5 - 8" - any ideas what this may be? I had the dealer replace the valve cover gaskets and oil seperator lines last fall but never checked the codes afterwards.

There are no errors on the dash - so I am curious to know if anyone knows what this is or how long it has been like this. Thanks JD

i`m not at all sure , but it could be oil in plenum chamber from when the oil separator was damaged .

The oil separator was never damaged - I had the lines replaced as preventative maintenance. I just had the oil and antifreeze changed and everything looks normal. Any other ideas?
