SOURCE: OBD II DTC P0172

p0172 is not a volvo code so may not be correct but converted to volvo is code 250a long term fuel upper limit (lean vac leak) ck all vac hoses and replace the canister purge valve mounted on the radiator (about $40.00 part) then reset all codes

SOURCE: location of O2 sensor in bank 2, 99 5.4 expedition, running lean

I have a ford 2003 windstar that was running very rough when cold and almost stalling. engine light came on. went to autozone and they read the codes for free and told me it was running lean on Bank 2 also. i came home searched for the O2 front sensors online using the info autozone gave me. there are 2 front sensors on my car that need to be replaced at the same time. look for ones that have a direct plug in and don't need wire splicing. the ones without the wiring harness are cheaper but more of a pain, i think.
they were fairly easy to replace. getting access with the wrench was the worst. reset the light by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. seems fine now and the light hasn't come back on.

SOURCE: PO171 error code System too lean bank 1

Here are some possible causes, I would start with anything related to replacing the intake.

Air leaks in intake manifold, exhaust pipes or exhaust manifold
Fuel control sensor is out of calibration
Low fuel pressure (fuel filter clogged, pressure regulator failure)
One or more injectors restricted or pressure regulator has failed
O2 sensors contaminated, deteriorated or has failed
Vacuum hose is disconnected, broken, leaking or loose

SOURCE: Check engine light. got 2 codes P0172 and p0175.

Unclip the 02 harness, then take out the 02 sensor. 5 minute job.

I can not find a fuel injector for my daewoo espero 1.8L. Can i buy a fuel injector of another car with a bigger engine??

Your injectors are sized for your vehicle. You might get lucky and the other one will fit. Check the part numbers on each and see it there is a match. The port size on the injector may be different coming from the other engine so you need to check. Too big and you will flood the cylinder with fuel and waste gas. Too small and you might not combust and misfire and get check engine lights. The injector o-ring may not seat properly and allow fuel to leak out potentially causing an engine fire. Best to match injectors. You could always go to a junk yard and pull an injector out of another matching engine.

What do I do next? My 2001 olds alero 3.4l v6 is misfiring constantly. Scanned obd2 error code p0301. Already changed spark plug, wire, and coil for cylinders 1 and 4. Still have same problem.

I recommend checking all injectors and O rings on the injectors if an O ring cracks air can raise Cain with misses so can injectors another thing is cam to look at will cause a constant miss but only on 1 cylinder at a time but doubt its the cam. check injectors and O rings also pull 1 plug wire at a time with wire pliers while engine is running and find the 1 cylinder that is giving you the problem when you pull the plug wire that is missing the engine will smooth out then that cylinder is your problem wear rubber gloves with the plug wire pliers so you dont get bit let me know if i can help please rate my solution as this is how i earn my achievements on fixYa thanks.

I have a 2000 ford taurus 3.0 dohc coding miss fire in cylinder 4.

Friend, replace the fuel injector on that cylinder. That's really good compression and nothing at all wrong with the valves. That misfire is what we call a dead cylinder and it is repairable. #4 cylinder is the front cylinder on the drivers side. You must remove the coil pack, disconnect vacuum lines from the front of manifold, pop all the electric connections off, remove the 6 bolts securing the upper plenum chamber and lift it off the manifold. Unclip the fuel injector wire connection from #4 injector at this point. There are small bolts securing the fuel rails to both heads to remove so the fuel rails can be pulled up to get to the fuel injectors, the will stay in the fuel rail when lifted, and it's a stiff removal because of the rubber O-rings holding the injectors in. When you have that up and able to get to the injector, just twist it out of the fuel rail, put the new one in it's place after a light lubricant is put on all the O-rings on top and bottom #4 and all the lower O-rings that are exposed, guide all the injectors back in their ports and push them all down until the fuel rail mount brackets are in position for the bolts and put the engine back together.

2001 dodge grand caravan sport 3 code 3.3 liter flex fuel random cylinder misfire along with 1 2 5 6 cylinder misfires. scan tools are unable to communicate with computer but check engine light will come...

Dirty fuel injectors. Computer will show misfire on the cylinders that are malfunctioning. If injector cleaner in tank won't clean them, pull them all out and have a professional take them apart and cleaned. Each injector has a screen in it that can get plugged up. Think about Bro, all other stuff has been renewed.

Cylender 2 missfire inisde sparkplug 2 fuel liking so what is main problem of my car its grand caravan 2004

If you have fuel leaking and a misfire in cylinder 2, I would check that injector. The o-rings on the fuel rail or seat are probably gone. Can you see the fuel leak?

Fouled fuel injector

If that is truly what he told you then you need a second opinion. You can't foul a fuel injector. The computer won't tell you there is water in a cylinder, they aren't that good. Did he give you a print out of codes or anything? You could have some bad fuel in the tank since you said it gets worse when the fuel is low. Get a second opinion or look at your paperwork from the first guy and tell me what he really said.
