[Shotimes] Codes 176 & 214

[Mike Bruce]

Hmmm...I wonder if I might have a leak at the butterfly to short runner
connection since my light comes on when the secondaries have been open.
I'll try loosening the clamps and rotating the couplers.  I know they're
factory original.  Do you think I should be okay for a month or so until
the next time I plan to have the intake apart?

I guess it could be a weak fuel injector as well.  They are original
too.  The car has 116,000 miles on it.  It is cheap enough to have
injectors cleaned; maybe I'll spring for fresh injectors.

If the code is on just one bank there is something wrong there.  Bad FI
or 
vacuum leak?

214 might be the cam sensor.
