    What Does p0251 Mean?

    Regarding the P0251 code, it would probably be worthwhile to carefully inspect the wire harness near the intake manifold bracket. This is done most easily from below the car in the area near the oil filter. When you see P0251 engine fault code on your engine code reader this description will help you.

    What are the common causes of p0251 ?
    • Contaminated, incorrect or bad gasoline
    • A dirty optical sensor
    • A clogged fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel injector
    • A faulty intake air temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or accelerator pedal position sensor
    • A faulty fuel control actuator
    • A faulty Engine Control Module
    • Leaking fuel injector
    • A short to power or ground in the wiring related to the intake air temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or accelerator pedal position sensor
    • Corrosion buildup on the connectors of the intake air temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor,accelerator pedal position sensor, fuel injector or related wiring
    How do you troubleshoot p0251 ?

    Look for rubbing, scraping, bare wires, worn spots or melted plastic connectors. Pull the connectors apart and carefully look at the terminals (the metal parts) inside the connectors. Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector. If the engine displays a miss and there wasn't a code, determine which cylinder is misfiring. If the exhaust manifold is visible, spay or pour a small amount of water on each cylinder exhaust port. Water will evaporate immediately on good cylinders and slowly on the missing cylinder. If this can't be accomplished pull the plugs and check the condition.
