Default Engine codes

Is there a place on these forums that have the engine codes listed? And where/what it takes to fix?
Thanks to all.

Has there been any problems with the Ethanol being added to the fuel? in the Millania's? I set some codes yesterday, the reason for the question just asked.
I have been adding the Marine Stabilizer type to help treat this.

you cant run e85. i think ethanol is in all fuels now, but it is a small amount.

what are the codes? the actual numbers, not someone's interpolation

In Toronto I can still get Shell 91 with 0% Ethanol but I fear they will phase it out one day. I get an instant 5-15% increase in MPG just by using a non alcohol fuel.

**** green hippies and their corn

in the united states, it is mandatory to use oxygenated fuel. hence the ethanol. and i agree, it is political

I had a po170 PO173 po1250 po1525
Car has been running good. I pulled the battery cables and reconnected, codes gone and have not returned. That is why the question on the 10% Ethanol. I am going to find a Pure-Gas station and get away from this Corn stuff.
Thanks guys appreciate it.

E10 is fine according to the owner's manual. Post again when those codes return. A failing PRC solenoid could cause P0170, P0173, and P1250. The P1525 could be the ABV vacuum solenoid on its way out. Ever had any unusual TCS warning lights?

Where is the PRC solenoid located? I looked for it today and could not see it, unless its underneath, back side of engine.
The car runs strong and no high/low idle like if it were the ABV the was at fault.
lites back on going to get it read tomorrow
