2012 Ford explorer changed o2 sensors on engine after getting p2196,p2198 and p0430. Cleared code and it came back on. No apparent vacuum leaks and cleaned the MAF sensor

Which engine is fitted and which O2 sensors did you change? If yours is the V6 there will be 4 O2 sensors fitted, one before the catalytic converter and one after it on Both sides. The P2196 and P2198 codes refer to the Upstream sensors which are the ones nearest the engine, (before the catalytic converter). After changing the sensors and there is no change to the codes, work back from there checking the air And fuel systems. Is the vehicle doing anything else? Hard to start? Uneven idle? Running rough? Lack of power? These can give other clues to the source of the issue.

Why is my 2004 Ford Freestar 4.2 running so rough?

The code P2196 indicates that there is too much fuel in relation to the oxygen in your vehicle, or that the oxygen sensor is faulty and reading an incorrect air/fuel ratio, thats your engine is running rough.
Engine code P0113 could be caused by a number of things, including a bad sensor or faulty wiring.
This trouble code points to the oxygen sensor, it's natural to want to replace it and move on. However, you must first inspect the wiring and the sensor to ensure.

91 integra ok driving at mid rpm range no hills or coasting check engine light comes on car runs rough and dies. restarts and runs ok but dies 5-10 minutes later

Car runs rough and dies.The issue indicates fuel pressure problem.But as you mentioned check engine light comes ON.The check engine light comes ON when the cars computer (the ECU) notices any kind of electrical problem in car. Once the problem gets confirmed the engine light will remain permanently ON till the problem gets solved. In this case I suggest you to get your car scanned at autozone service center. It's absolutely free. In case in car scanning, if any error code is retrieved then you can check which part is faulty as per the error code. At autozone they also deal in parts.So if any part checked out faulty then you can get that part replaced as per the code.-------------thanks.Helpmech.

P2196 RUN ROUGH

O2 bank one is the up stream O2 sensor on the passenger side. You access it from under the suv and through the wheel well. Its a very tight area.

Run rough light on my code po2196

no such code as a P02196

if you mean a P2196 that means that the H0211 (front O2 bank 1) is NOT switching

you'll need to use a DVOM and see if it is lean or rich

better yet... a scan tool to check fuel trims

could just be a defective O2 but too many variables just to guess
