2005 Ford Taurus codes p2195, p2197,p1336,p0340, p0316, p0300

2195 = O2 sensor lean bank 1.
2197 = O2 bank 2 same as above.
1336 = Cam sensor position
0340 = Canshaft sensor malfunction
0316 = Startup misfire <1000 RPM
0300 = Random misfire.

I would say you probably have a broken wire in the engine loom. They won't all be faulty unless someone has no idea what they are doing and broke a few things.

Oil leak on bottom side of motor on 1999 monte carlo... by a sensor

Oil can leak at dozens of places on an engine. If it's a real fast leak only when the engine is running then it may be leaking from the oil pressure sender.

I need to i disconnect engine oil sensor always blinking and beeping.

I would not disconnect it, it saved my engine more than once (although the sensor itself was the leaking culprit). its right in front and fairly easy to get to. Get a new one at parts store or junkyard and replace it.It is located right to the left of the distributor. pull boot back and remove push on connector. Remove sensor with wrench.

2011 A4 2.0 (143) TDI SLINE - OIL SENSOR

The sensor is within the engine sump.
These types of sensors can be prone to failure because of high internal heat.
If you have a dipstick, then manually check yourself.
If not, then drop the oil, measure the quantity and replace the sensor if necessary.

My car's fuel consuption has suddenly gone up, from 9-10km/L to hardly 6-7km/L. Engine type is 1G-FE. What are the possible solutions?

There is fuel leaking outside the engine. Possible areas are the tank itself, fuel lines and fittings, and the fuel filter. These usually cause puddling under the vehicle. However, if fuel is leaking onto hot exhaust system parts, it will vaporize and leave no puddle. Find and fix the leak.

There is fuel leaking inside the engine. This is usually from a fuel injector that is leaking fuel into one of the cylinders. The engine will run rich and burn extra fuel. The fuel leaking past the rings of the piston in the cylinder involved will contaminate the engine oil and give it a fuel odor. The contaminated oil will not lubricate the bearings properly and more engine troubles will develop. Find and replace the leaking injector.

Fuel may be being burned due to an unnecessary rich mixture caused by a malfunctioning oxygen sensor. Oxygen sensors are usually designed to fail to the rich mixture side. Failing to the lean side would cause engine damage. On the rich side, the engine is protected from damage although fuel mileage will suffer. You may see black smoke while accelerating and a sooty carbon buildup on the inside of the exhaust tailpipe. Test the oxygen sensor and if it fails, replace it.

Difficulty in changing the oil pan gasket I dont have the car here to look at do I have to remove any type of crossmember bracing or is it a direct shot to remove it

It's a direct shot....

Removal & Installation
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  2. Drain the engine oil into a suitable container.
    1. Remove the transaxle converter cover.
  3. For 1986-90 vehicles, remove the starter motor from the vehicle, as outlined in Section 2.
  4. Remove the oil filter.
  5. If equipped, disconnect the oil level sensor.
  6. For 1996-99 vehicles, remove the oil level sensor. On these vehicles, the oil level sensor must be removed prior to removing the pan. If the pan is removed first, damage to the sensor may occur.
  7. Remove the oil pan-to-engine bolts and the oil pan. Remove and discard the oil pan gasket. The formed rubber oil pan gasket cannot be reused.
  8. If necessary, remove the oil pump pipe and screen.
  9. Thoroughly clean the gasket mounting surfaces.
To install:
  1. If removed, install the oil pump pipe and screen. Secure with the retaining bolt(s) and tighten to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
  2. Place a new formed rubber gasket in the oil pan flange.
  3. Position the oil pan and secure with the oil pan-to-engine bolts. Tighten the bolts to 124 inch lbs. (14 Nm). Do NOT overtighten the bolts, as this will damage the oil pan, causing a leak.
  4. For 1986-90 vehicles, install the starter motor and transaxle converter cover.
  5. Install a new oil filter.
  6. For 1996-99 vehicles, install the oil level sensor.
  7. If equipped, connect the low oil level sensor wire.
  8. Carefully lower the vehicle.

WARNING Operating the engine without the proper amount and type of engine oil will result in severe engine damage.


  1. Fill the crankcase with the proper type and amount of engine oil.
  2. Connect the negative battery cable, then start the engine and check for leaks. Check the oil level and add if necessary.
