Have you changed the fuel filter. This is common for these sorts of problems considering that you have changed everything else

SOURCE: service engine soon light on 2002 chevrolet tahoe stays on

That normally means that you have a issue with your gas cap try replacing your gas cap first then diconnect the negative terminal of the battery for about three minutes to clear the memory and start the truck again

check your gas cap. If you fill your gas while the vehicle is running, it will also cause your light to come on. Go to OReilys or Autozone and they will shut it off for free and tell you the problem

SOURCE: po452 trouble code changed sensor engine light

you may have to drive it several days for the light to go off, or have the codes cleared. personally I would just drive it. if the computer tests it, and it passes the test, it will go off on its own.

Dash lights read service engine soon check gauges

the lamp means 2 things CEL (SES/MIL)
it means there is a serious problem.
it means get car service
if frisky? it means DIY scan the pCM and check all fuses.
SES lamp is what some makers of cars call the CEL
it means exactly the same thing.
lost the glove box free users guide it tells you all this.
not many 89 cars on the road now, most are dead
and repairs exceed its value (won't stop me but, most end here)

89 Chevy Cheyenne C1500 pickup truck,.
no engine told. generation 4 truck.
4 engines then, 4.3v6,5.0v8,5.7v8 , 6.2Ldiesel-v8

finding 1989 manuals is hard, only paper manuals then no PDF or others doing horrible scans later,
the problem is this cars ECU/ECM/PCM is chevy OBD1 system and there are flash codes (cel /ses ) blink codes for error huge.
if the CEL glows it means 99% of time a major error
like dead sensor , 100% dead,
4.3L has distributor and horrors of TB throttle body injection TBI. not MPI we have now.
5.0 same thing
5.7 -same
diesel ? ask. rare option. for sure running at all.

gasoline engine surge has many causes
i will list some only
spark bad.
fuel injectors messed up. 2 there are.
fuel pressure out of spec, FPR bad.
IAC DEAD OR JUST DIRTY.

2003 Nissan Altima 2.5L Service Engine Soon Light is on, Auto Zone says codes are for MAF and O2 Sensors. Car hard to start after driving a while but when starts appears to run smooth. Auto Zone thi

ok lets start with the codes they say your getting. P??? which 1's and how many. there are few o2 sensors, are they next to the Exhaust next to the converter? MASS AIR FLOW -MAF use this, for now i am guessing, until i see the correct codes your are getting. this could be the 1 you may have below, please read it........
  • P0103
    Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit High Input
  • Possible causes
  • Faulty mass air flow sensor
    - Intake air leaks
    - Dirty mass air flow sensor
    - Dirty mass air filter
    - Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
    - Mass air flow sensor circuit poor electrical connection
  • Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner. Reset code and drive vehicle. If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.
  • possible symptoms Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
    - Engine stall
    - Engine running rough
    - Excessive fuel consumption
    - Excessive smoke
  • the code is generated when An excessively high voltage from the sensor is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM).

2000 chevy silverado ,5.3 liter engine .service engine soon light on so scanned for problem codes ,results bank 1&2 are running lean .what is the cause or problem that needs to be done to fix

Check for loos connections between the intake and the tube from the air filter. Check if the clamp is loose or leaks in the tube which can cause an incorrect reading. Other than that it may be a dirty MAF sensor which can be fixed by spraying carb cleaning or tuner spray in the intake or it may be bad or a bad oxygen sensor;.

How do i replace a mass flw air sensor on a 1998 chevy blazer 4.3 engine

The mass flow sensor on the 1998 Blazer is along the intake tube right after the air filter intake housing. Loosen the two clamps that hold the MAF sensor between the Air filter box cover and air intake tube, disconnect the wire leads at the MAF sensor connection and remove the MAF. Note it's uncommon for the MAF sensor to go bad and 95% of the time, cleaning it with MAF sensor with MAF cleaner will fix any problem it may of had to trigger the DTC codes.
Start with trying to clean it first just by following the instruction on the MAF cleaner. This should save you time and money to get your Blazer running 100% again soon.
Good luck and thank you for using Fixya.

Service Engine soon light came on. Scan code

If it has been serviced correctly just take it aback and ask them to reset the warnibg light. If they can't then you should chose another garage to service it.

I ran a Diagnostic on my 1998 chevy venture mini van and here are the codes that came up, P0102, P0134. What does this mean? I have already replaced the following, fuel pressure regulator, both crankshaft...

the 2 codes are

P0134 02 Sensor Circuit no activity Detected (bank 1 sensor 1)
first check your fuses check the wiring to the sensor(the sensor is on the exhaust in front of the engine-open the hood and look down) if the fuses and the wiring look good replace the O2 sensor there are 2 types of sensors original equipment(oe) style and universal the oe style has a connector you just plug in, the universal you have to hard wire in

the 2nd code is Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Low Input
check the wireing, make shure theres a good connections
you said that you already replaced this sensor so im going to recomend that you go after the other code first

deal with the oxygen sensor then reset the computer and see what codes come back
