SOURCE: hesitation, stalling like out of gas

Clogged Catalytic Converter. What happens is as you push down harder on the accelerator you force more gas into the system causing a slightly richer mixture and more exhaust flow is neccessary. The easiest way to look for a clogged cat is when it's dark out take it for a ride causing it perform it's problem look under the vehicle if the cat is literally glowing red hot you either have a clogged cat or an extremely rich fuel mixture.

SOURCE: check engine light codes and troubleshooting

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak for the lean code and the misfires. I don't see a 473 code in my manual, but have a 463. The 463 is for the fuel level sensor open or voltage high.

SOURCE: 2002 Jeep Liberty P0174 code and mech has changed the o2 sensor

Can't tell you exactly what is wrong but the one thing you said is of concern...Map sensor should not be full of oil. If it is, I'd want to know why. In finding the reason for that, you may also find the reason why you are having a problem.
Jeep uses two kinds of engine crank venting. you either have a pcv valve or an orifice controlled system. If either are obstructed it can overpressure the crankcase and cause all kinds of problems.
Years of experience tells me this isn't something I can guess at and be 100% sure I have the right answer but based on what you said, I'd look there first!

SOURCE: I have a 97 wrangler

Something odd about what you posted. An engine that is running lean shouldn't be using a lot of fuel. Lean is when there isn't enough fuel going into the engine. Two other sensors that regulate fuel flow are the map sensor and throttle position sensor. Temp sensor generally would cause a rich condition but I'd test that too. Be sure to check for vacuum leaks at the manifold and lines as well as fittings... A vacuum leak will give the O2 sensor a lean reading...seeing that, the computer will try to compensate by adding fuel. Clearing codes can change the way it's running but as soon as the computer runs through it's internal diagnostics it will turn the light back on if there is a problem.

Engine light on with P2096 code

Did you replace the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter? This code is set by the rear O2 sensor. It usually indicates early failure or restricted catalytic converter. May want to have an exhaust back pressure test performed.

1996 subaru legacy check engine light comes on and off

Find out if Midas use a genuine sensor or an after market unit. A cpu is set to read the parameters of a genuine unit and after market units while they work have the parameters set so that the cpu sees them as faulty and will put the engine light on.. Suggest you take it to a dealer for a correct fault reading and diognosis of the problem.

The service engine light came on - code was P0305 The coil, spark plug and wires all replaced. Fuel injector cleaner added. After, the service engine light flashes on then off - code P0174

Must be a full moon today & repair shops purposely
do poor work this week

This site is unbelievable

You gave use no vehicle what so ever

We only guess here anyway, so what the heck

The PO 305 usually is a COP ---individual coil-on plug
related problem -- for cylinder #5 last number of code
301 thru 306 or 8

With that there are no spark plug wires

Injector cleaner --- think about 16 oz in ten or more gallons
of fuel. Really do much,not in my 47 years experience
Won't hurt,but won't fix anything. If it was necessary or did
work it would be recommended in your owners manual & come with the car

Now the PO174 is an O2 Sensor Code so common I think
we all have one

System too lean on Bank 2
In your case that is the passenger side most likely

80% of O2 Codes are Vacuum leaks & a misfiring coil,
that your shop can't figure out doesn't help

Bottom line: few places seem to like or be able to fix a ford
Seriously,including some dealers,how is that. I have have no problems

Let go further

Spark Plugs--are they replaced every 3 years & not over 60,000 miles
O2 Sensors --replaced at 100,000 miles front 2 only,ones in inlet of converter
MAF Sensor cleaned once or twice a year
All ducting from air filter to throttle body--- leak free
NO VACUUM LEAKS ANYWHERE --ducting,intake,EVAP System,exhaust system

Your shop needs to actually use their scan tool in mode $06 & drive the car
& look at misfire counts & any number of other data

A new repair shop would be my suggestion
Sloppy work for sure

Car is sputtering like got bad gas

have you recently purchased gas? that's 1st question. if you suspect bad gas, add 1 bottle of CLEAR rubbing alcohol to your fuel tank,this will dry up any water that has been added into your fuel tank. or perhaps your fuel injectors may be clogging up,suggest that you add lucas fuel injector cleaner to your fuel tank. you can find the lucas at any auto zone,advance auto parts store. or check your local auto parts store for it. add it to your fuel tank and run the engine,it cleans your fuel injectors as you drive the car,or run the engine.if this does'nt help,i suggest that you check for bad spark plugs,or bad spark plug wires. this will also make your engine sputter.do you have a check engine light on? if so,auto zone or advance auto can code read your car for free. they will plug it up and tell you which sensor is bad or what you need to replace to make the light go off.narrow your search by ruling out this 1st {bad fuel} {spark plugs in need of replacement,or spark plug wires in need of replacement} hoping this helps,and thank you for choosing fixya.com

2006 chrysler town and country with code p 2096. We are traveling and engine light just came on. Can you tell me what this code is?

P2096-DOWN STREAM FUEL SYSTEM 1/2 LEAN

If you gotten gas might have been a bad batch, I would find a way and reset the light, once you reset the light by clearing the codes you will need to complete the DRIVE CYCLE which will then tell you IF the light returns there is a problem with the O2 sensor or you are having Fuel problems.

Check engine light on code reads p2096 what

Fuel trim too lean. Usually means vacuum leak. Look for crushed,broken or melted off vacuum hoses near intake manifold. Or an obvious hissing noise at a normal idle. If so replace or repair clear codes your done. If not obvious take carb cleaner spray with nozzle attached car running & go over all vacuum hoses,intake manifold,egr valve see if idle raises if so you found leak. Repair. Could also be bad oxygen sensor switching bad o2 sensor but rarely.

#5 piston not working correctly.

you may need a new fuel injector. or a intake gasket. here is a tip ;with the engine running spray starting fluid or a carb cleaner around the intake at the #5 cylinder if there is any change in idle you need to replace the intake gasket if no change replace the fuel injector

You haven't changed everything...map sensor controls spark and fuel mixture as does the throttle position sensor, also check the idle control valve...Don't just buy stuff...do testing first.
