Well my car has LTs and a cai and it's yet to have a tune. It throws a P0140 and P0160 all the time but i occasionally get a P0153. Its not really a problem because it takes less then a minute to clear the codes and you can do it while you are driving. The light only comes on every few days. I'm probably waiting another couple weeks before i buy hptuners or get a tune. Its quick now but it idles a little high and it running rich so a tune will definently help.

You say you can clear the codes. Do you have a handheld or do these cars have a way to clear them?
