Trouble codes

Post by Tleg93 »

I am not new to trouble codes but I've got a bunch of them that are confusing me as to the true source of trouble.

I've got:

12
23
41
45
22
24
maybe a 23

It misses like crazy and I'm worried it's running super lean.

Clear the codes, drive the car, check the codes again, and see what codes come back.

Did that today. I'm still getting the O2 sensor, Air flow sensor and air pressure sensor codes. I'm going to connect the green connectors and drive to see what comes up. My thinking is that the O2 sensor is to blame but I don't know why the MAF would come up. Maybe it's the MAF.

Maybe your MAF is dirty, check to see if your air filter is clogged.

I doubt it but I'll check that. It seems a little too simple to be true. This didn't come on gradually. But come to think of it, it happened right after I got lazy and went to jiffy lube. They cleaned my air filter, hmmm.

Got it. The T going to the intake nipple was busted, the maf was a little dirty and the air filter wasn't properly inserted.

Ya don't let jiffy lube touch your car not even for a oil change I suggest you check your oil drain bolt lol.

My ex had a bad experience with them. They stripped the oil drain bolt and instead of rethreading it or putting in a self-tapping bolt, they use PUTTY to hold the old bolt in. Guess what? Revving up a car creates oil pressure! Bye bye bolt, hello thrown rod!

They are so lazy to the point where they just put the bolt straight onto a impact and don't thread it by hand first.

Had Wal Mart to do that to one of our customers a while back ago. They cracked the oil pan , it was aluminum, and a chunk was missing. They RTV it and told the guy it would be fine. The guy comes to our shop and asked us to see if we can fix. We told him he just needed another oil pan and send the bill to Wal Mart.

Also with the whole pressure thing. If it's that bad. The positive crank case valve might need to be replaced. Bolt should still hold but leak oil, not shoot it out :-D
