I have a question Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2003 Mercedes E-Class 320 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? Yes I'm trying to fix it myself because it's just little sensors but the sensors follow more codes that I would need somebody to kind of check it out but I don't need to run a diagnosis on the vehicle cuz I have the codes already Mechanic's Assistant: Do you have a scan tool to read the codes? Yes I do Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No I rather speak to him

1 minute I will just check these codes.

The **P0171** code means that, on the first bank of the engine, the fuel system is running weak or a vacuum leak exists near this side of the engine. A lean condition occurs when the engine either receives too little fuel or too much air. P0455 Missing or loose fuel cap Incorrect fuel filler cap used Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks EVAP system hose leaking Fuel tank leaking **P0341 MERCEDES** - **BENZ** Meaning The Camshaft Position Sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the rate at which the camshaft is spinning. This information is used by the Engine Control Module(ECM) to control ignition and fuel injection. What the P335 code means. The **P0335** DTC is set once the powertrain control module (PCM) fails to detect proper sensor operation from the crankshaft position sensor. This causes the Check Engine Light to be displayed on the dashboard and a failsafe mode enabled. What symptoms are you getting from your vehicle ?

Well my my car kind of hesitates on takeoff and I changed the crankshaft sensor yesterday and sometimes when I'm going to turn on my car it it it like overturns on like it I can't explain it but I'm having a little problems with itto me it looks like all these codes that I'm popping out with are just little sensors but they're sensors that I I wouldn't be able to eye examine them cuz I'm a female I don't know how to check leak when there's a leak
Automotive Expert
It is possible it is the camshaft sensor and or the EVAP system has a leak maybe a spilt or loose pipe to the evap valve or even the faulty fuel cap can cause the and a breather vent pipe from the fuel tank can cause P0455 code
