Code 10 PCM 1441
What is code 10PCM 1441. It sets the CK engine light. When I clear the code the CK eng light goes out. Could this be the cause of poor fuel milage?

Maybe you can answer two questions for me.
first..with this unplugged would it affect gas mileage?
two..would it affect a tune while unplugged?
Because my mileage was down and it was tunned after mods with this plug not connected.
Thanks,

If you have already cleared the codes, unplug the solenoid again and drive around for 1/2 hour or so. Then check your stored codes. Alternatively, if you have some way of displaying or logging OBD-II data, drive around and note your part-throttle and steady speed LTFTs. If they are highly negative, it indicates a rich condition, and is just a matter of time before setting codes.
Bottom line... check with your tuner, but I don't think this is a big cause for concern.

Either way, I don't think it would be a cause for poor mileage, since the tune would have compensated.
