2003 ZX2 DOHC- "system lean" rough idle
Ok here's my problem. My check engine light came on a few weeks ago and I went and had it read, the guy said it said "system too lean". He said I wasn't getting either enough air or fuel. I had just changed my oil so they also changed my air filter so we ruled that out. I bought a fuel cleaner and went and added it and gas and then went home and unplugged my battery for a while so the lights could reset. It was fine but then a couple of days later the light came back on. Then I started noticing that if I was in park with my a/c on it would idle a little rougher than usual. Then it began to get worse- rough idle in park with or without a/c on, rough idle in drive with a/c on then it also began to rough idle in drive without the a/c on. I had the light read again and it still just said "system too lean". I told the guy my problems and he said it was my IACV. He made the light go off and I bought yet another fuel cleaner. I also had began to notice a "losing air sound" coming from my car. We checked and the little elbow that comes off the intake and connects to a hose that goes to the exhaust was completely messed up. My dad changed that and my IACV and then my car worked fine. Well, I started feeling it again. The lights come back on and it's rough idling in park again. My car is an automatic. Any ideas?
