A little back story this car about 3yrs ago there 2 injectors within 400km of each other and Holden replaced under warranty. The soon after started ticking intermittently like an old grandfather clock, with no reduced engine lag or performance just the sound, I’ve added the lube to the oil a couple of times but it never fully goes away, I was told it was a lazy lifter. For a couple of years this car has had engine light come on and go away with no rough engine, then it added in stability control, and goes away and in the past week this has come on plus the ABS light so all 3. Yesterday it decided to throw a fourth at me which was the alternator light. Car went immediately in reduced battery mode which I’m guessing shut down half my engine as it was running rough!! I limped it the 2km home. It started this morning but all faults still there so a friend put a reader under the dash and I got this error code - P0174 OBD-II Trouble Code: System Too Lean (Bank 2). Which makes sense as it’s **** I’m guessing half my engine down, well that’s what it felt like when I limped it home. I’m a woman and would really appreciate any help on whether I should take it to Holden or an Auto Electrician. I don’t have thousands to throw at it, I am actually trying to sell the damn thing but I can’t with this issue. I read som things to do with this error code and it’s talking about fuel or air intake in fuel l read something like that but I just don’t have the funds to take it here there and everywhere and don’t want to be ripped off. Any help greatly appreciated
