Check that. It won't reset immediately and requires a few drive cycles but that could very well be the case. Also pop open your hood and make sure all the fluids have their caps on secure.

Good luck my guy

Take that car over to Autozone and get the code read and throw us that code and we'll crack down on it. Autozone does it for free and prints it out for you, takes them like 5 minutes.

Note: After their reader was done the CEL went away. I've since started, stopped, driven, etc several times and it has not come back.

Going to assume that the repair is going to be on the cheaper spectrum of things and under warranty if you have one considering it's ignition related. Could be much worse so I'd let out a huge sigh of relief

Call up your local dealer and see what they say.

A quick Google unearthed a whole thread on this code - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...=30879&page=32

That's odd - I've read and cleared the P0351 code with my OFT in the past. Wonder why your's is different?

Because he/she hasn't flashed their car with OFT yet.

I think it's just a glitch. Sometime when you plug it in, I believe the a short and it send weird signal to your pcm. On two different occasions I plug it in and had check engin lights. This worried me as well. Also on about three diffent times I plugge it in and my air conditioner wouldn't work and all my lights were lit up including traction, wheel sensors, engine light, basically any and everything. So I turned it off and re flashed and everything went away. And no lights or anything for months then of course one day I would get in a rush and plug it in and then shit would go haywire again.

Icecreamtruk · 10-17-2017, 04:43 PM

P0351 is not a glitch, or a one of. Very recurrent problem, altho very minor. Keep driving and enjoying the car. It will come back at some point and go away on its own. Overtime it will happen more frequently. Eventually you will have to swap that coilpack (its the easier one to swap, no need to lift the engine, but you need flexible hands). If you track the car or "drive spirited" often in hot weather, it will come on during it. You can keep pushing the track. I've pushed on a bad coilpack for 3 track days (2 of them back to back) and even tho you lose a bit a power, nothing else happens, the car just runs a tiny bit richer.

That would not result in P0351 and is a separate issue.

Do you have a header with no heat shielding or uncoated?

Not sure if your talking to me or the guy who started the post but as for me no. But recently I did find out I had a big hole in one of my resonators because it had been rubbing on my crank pully so maybe that had some to do with it. Like I said in a another post I urg everyone to check theirs too. It's seems that the intake it self slowly rotates or vibrated enough that the resonator leans back!

I had the code po171. This is not not mine but another's pic, but mine looked almost identical.
