Car : 2001 Sunfire 2200
problem started w hen i was going up a hill and car lost power and bogged down then the trac off light came on. further down the road i got the check engine light on as well with a p0171 code. In the last month the plugs and wires were replaced and after getting this problem i replaced the map sensor. I cleared the codes and it just comes right back. Any ideas? I was about to get an o2 sensor but i figured id post first and see if anyone has an idea.
is the IAT sensor plugged in?
*the one that goes into the air intake tube*
We all need somebody to believe in something...
yes its plugged in. could it be bad? ive got 2 added problems now. the car "sounds" like its misfiring but i dont think it is. it kind of sounds like a suburu right now if that makes sense. also my oil pressure light started coming on at idle after i got home from work today. the car kind of stumbles when i first start it also. its done this for awhile but may possibly be related i guess.
just an update, but the engine started knocking and it shut off on the way to the parts store yesterday at a stop sign. it wouldnt crank after that so i rolled it into a parking lot. after taking all the parts i had bought back i tried to start it again and it started but its knocking. there is fuel in the oil. any idea what happened to it? im going to try an drive it to my moms today since i cant really leave it sit where i live and they have a car i can borrow til i can i guess get a new engine.
