Hi,
My 2001 Corvette, which has 60K miles, has been having this DTC P1431 coming on about 60-80 miles after each fill up. I have read other posts about Chevron Techron additive, adding the stuff after each fill up (4 large bottles total), and have taken the car to the dealer and had the BG injector service done. The Code is still coming on, with the gauge going to empty. I have even added Lucas gas treatment, to no avail.
On fill up, The gauge points to the notch below Full, and after I reset the code, I have had the code come on again . The dealership decided that I need a new right side sender/fuel pump assembly and wants $983 for the job, which includes 3 hours of labor.
I found an AC Delco MU1218 right side fuel pump with Sensor, same as the dealership, for under $200.00, with free shipping. I think I am going to get a local shop to install it for me. With 3 hours at $75 per hour, I figure to come out $425 poorer, instead of almost $1000 the Stealership wants. If I had a lift, I would be tempted to try it myself.
Any thoughts on this?
