2004 3.2 Liter Cadillac cts have 4 o2s codes & multiple misfires help

do you want gue$$ or how to test using TOOLS?
4 engines but told it YEAH. 3.2L
check all fuses first. a 20cent part, we test them 1 of 3 ways (ask)
flashing CEL means , CATS are going to run way too hot and may be damaged, means dont drive it far.

you failed to tell the 4 O2 DTC errors..
there are 2 kinds, heater or sensor out (cell) voltage
which one is key to the problem why do that>?
O2 sensors all 4 failing to me (blind) smacks of heaters shorted. (or the wires to them 1 wire shorted can short them all out) and is never good this.
you have p0300 errors to, ? or just 1 code p030x
where x is a number 1 to 6 and is always the same exact number, again no DTC told just vague.
questions all I have are those, blind must ask them ok.?
ever get a full tuneup 19 years.?
for sure spark plugs and filters and fan belt.(serp)
on this 3.2L the O2 heaters shorted blow 2 fuses
pre O2 or Post 02 fuses. so seems not this. hoodbox

ESP mind meld 1:
misfire codes P030x (x = 0 to max or 6)
if one fails it means that cylinder # has weak
combustion. or if p0300 all are.
caused by
that cylinders is bad, (example burned head valves)
and low compression tests (below 150psi) or vacuum test gauge shows, vacuum bouncing like mad,. oops
bad engine.

or bad spark (never did a tune up here ,bingo)
and last bad fueling if fuel is too lean on all 6
we see po300 and lean burn codes p017x or LTFT long term fuel trim way off at +xx huge %
or too rich fuel and misfires (on all or just 1 cyl)
or just one injector is dead , leaks or is 1/2 clogged

lacking any list of all DTC failing,all i can do is say how to do the tests. (engine,spark ,fueling)
scan the PCM
write down all DTC found
and share them all, skip none..

ENGINE LIGHT ON CODES P0141 & P0144

code p 0141 refers to heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 bank 1--heater control--circuit malfunction===causes --wiring---HO2S--- ECM
code p 0144 refers to heated oxygen sensor(HO2S) 3 bank 1--high voltage ===causes wiring short to positive ---HO2S---ECM
also refers to oxygen sensor(O2S) 3 bank 1--high voltage ===causes wiring short to positive---O2S-- ECM
HO2S sensors are the units in the exhaust manifolds or before the cat converters
O2 sensors are after the cat converter
two completely different operations
use the special tool for sensors as the wires are easily damaged from the wrong tool use
as for misfiring you will get a P0300 (0300,0301,0302,0303 etc) depending on which cylinders are misfiring
when checking for misfiring the injectors , (blocked or not firing) are as important as plugs and wires
If the misfiring continues after sensor replacement , replace the ECM with a known good one as it is common to all fault codes and misfiring

My 01 chevy blazer will idle rough. it gives me error codes, p0300 and p0135 and p0141. where do i find these problems

Hello your po135 is o2 sensor bank 1 your po141 is O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 and your pO300 is random multiple cylinder misfire these problems are your oxygen sensors and engine misfire pO300 is you engine missing o2 sensors are switches in the exhaust system the engine misfires are the engines cylinders missing.

I have a 2004 Spectra. Driving to work this morning, car stalled out twice. Cranked car later in the day and the engine sputtered and idling high to keep from dying. Engine smoothed out, but MIL came on...

Well, it is either a timing belt/chain going out or a bad crank position sensor most likely causing the other problems. The O2 sensor may be bad as well but that usually doesn't cause the Misfire. The vehicle on board computer is confused, that is why it is throwing all those codes. and why it gives you that 1166 code which isn't defined. Check the crank position sensor and the timing and timing belt first. Once you have that fixed the rest should clear up.

P134, p0141, po300, po130 and po135. 2005 Sunfire.

Given that most of the trouble codes are for the O2 sensor, I think I would change it. The multiple misfires could be because of improper fuel/air mixture caused by a bad sensor. Disconnect the negative(-) battery terminal then change the sensor. Disconnecting the negative(-) should reset the computer and allow the fuel/air mixture to return to default allowing the engine to start.
P0130 - O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0134 - O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0135 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0141 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

P0137--O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage-Bank 1 Sensor 2

P0139--O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response-Bank 1 Sensor 2

P0152--O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage-Bank 2 Sensor 1

P0300--Random Multiple Cylinder Misfire


I would suspect that the camshaft position sensor is bad. This is a quote from the tech manual:

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses the camshaft position sensor to manage sequential fuel injection and as part of misfire diagnosis. The PCM constantly monitors the number of pulses on the signal circuit. The PCM compares the number of camshaft sensor reference pulses and the number of crankshaft position sensor reference pulses received. If the PCM receives an incorrect number of pulses, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) should be stored in the PCM. Some PCM systems will then default to multi-port or "gang-fire" injector operation. The camshaft position sensor signal is required to sequence the injector operation to the proper cylinder timing. If the camshaft position sensor or circuit is faulty, most engines will start. However, the PCM misfire diagnostic will likely be affected.

The part costs $50.....simple to change. It is NOT the O2 sensors so don't go wasting money on those. They are being affected due to related symptoms....they fault because the problem is happening upstream.
