KenH Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Both CEL and the TRAC lights are on all the time. Am I correct in thinking that these codes, P0300, P0301, P0303, P0305 along with 1130, 1133, and 1135 could all be caused by the bank 1 O2 sensor? I'm thinking that cylinders 1, 3, and 5 are on bank 1 and if the O2 sensor there is defective that could cause misfiring. Correct? I'm also thinking that while I am getting my hands and arms all scarred up getting up into the back of the engine that I should replace the plugs. Correct? It is a 1999 ES-300 with 84,750 miles on it. Thanks. I did search the forum, walked thru about 10 pages of messages (search doesn't really work & learned a lot, but didn't see this exact combo.
Toysrme Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 A-la Toyota's 1994 Camry Repair Manual It could be either/both. The coils & ignition sensing equipment are ruled out by default, so skip checking them. I would start by replacing the o2 sensor & resetting the ECU (remove EFI fuse a second & replace). You don't have to remove anything to get to either o2 sensor. Tho no one is going to talk you out of taking the upper intake manifold off, cleaning it & it's associated components (Throttlebody, ISC/IAC, EGR valve) by hand (good way to ensure future reliability & regain lost horsepower from carbon build-up).
KenH Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 thanks, I'll pick up a sensor tomorrow. The owners manual says to change plugs at 90K, will do those also. KenH
jahwarrior Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 what do you all think of aftermarket o2 sensors??
