The above problem was eventually resolved by replacing an evap emission canister.

#164 of 169 ODB code PO171 & PO453 Vibe 1.8L by arthur13206

After the initial CEL/ODB code reported earlier and having the Engine Control Module replaced under recall I have had about a year and a half of trouble free driving. Though I did have to replace the license plate light for inspection.
 
Now the CEL is giving ODB codes PO171 & PO453 as read by Pep Boys Auto Parts. Has anyone had experience with this code combination? Can this be fixed DIY or will it cost a pile of money at the dealership?

#166 of 169 I have a 2009 Pontiac Vibe that will not start about 6 or 7 times a year. by waterloo2

• If you let it set for 20 minutes it will start and run perfectly.
• It does not put on the check engine light or any other light. Also no flashing Security light either
• The engine cranks over just fine.
• Does not put any codes in the computer.
• It does not matter if it’s the first start of the day or the last, or if it was in the garage or outside.
• It does not matter if its winter or summer.
• When you try to start it will only start for a second then quit.
• It has the 1.8 L engine.
• It happened for the first time about 3 years ago and then it was about 6 months before it happened, but it’s been getting more frequent.
 
Please help
Joe

Good morning Joe,
 
We're sorry to hear that your Vibe is giving you some troubles upon start up. Do you have any plans to get this checked out by a dealership at all?
