My 2003 chevy truck 1500 with a v6 runs good 15miles and after that it starts missing and like something holding it back

IF the "check engine" or "service engine soon" light is on. You can take it to most any auto parts store to get the codes read.

Better yet would be to find someone with an actual scanning tool to see what all of the sensors are reading.

IF there is no check engine or service engine soon light on then it could be quite a few different things wrong.

A plugged catalytic converter is a possibility. Another item that i ran across on 3 different vehicles within a day was a bad coolant temperature sensor. All 3 vehicles ran fine when 1st started, but then slowly started to "load up" or run rich. REAL rich.

Turned out on all 3 vehicles there was NO check engine/service engine soon light but after hooking up the scanning tool all 3 showed the coolant temp sensor was reading -40°!!

Yup, the computer was being told the engine was at 40 BELOW zero. The computer took that info and adjusted the fuel/air mixture and timing to help the engine warm up.

While the engine warmed up, the sensor kept saying it was 40 below and made the engine run rich.

This MAY be the problem, but without a scan tool it's hard to say.

Hope this helps.

Having trouble with engine killing or running rough even after it's warm.

not for sure but it could be your cam sensor. if the check engine light is on then take it to a parts store and they can run a scan and give you more information

I have a 2006 chevy equinox and the engine light wont go out, Ive changed the gas cap but this didnt help. how do I go about using getting the car to give me the problem codes? on my Dodge it was simply...

newer cars require a scan tool to pull codes, that only gives you an idea of where the problem lies, best is to get a real time scanner with snapshot capabilities, , for examp;e a simple scan may say o2 out of range, but that is just what the o2 is reading, it could still be a leaking injector or a missing cyl not burning right, the o2 will read out of range with nothing wrong with it , so even with a scan you still have to do diagnostics

The check engine light is on and the jeep is ideling rough and acts sluggish when I am driving. What could cause this to happen?

Go to your local auto parts superstore, and have them scan for the fault code that is making the check engine light come on. Most do this scan for FREE. Take it from there. Could be a simple o2 sensor, or something else. Parts and sensors and relays just stop functioning sometimes. Hope this helps.

I have a 2001 Santa Fe and the Engine light is lit and has been for many years. When I took the vehicle for the State Inspection I was told that the Co2 needed to be changed so the light would come off and...

The best thing to do is go to Auto Zone and get your Hyundai scanned for a DTC code. That would tell us which O2 sensor has gone bad. You have three O2 sensors and one of them has gone bad, the O2 sensor sends signals to the ecm to control the air fuel mixture so it will not run to rich or to lean which is causing you to fail the state inspection. Good luck and keep me posted on what the DTC codes are, be glad to help.

1998 Chevy s10 4 cylinder running rough

One thing to check is the fuel pressure regulator.
If the diaphram is leaking it will cause gas to be pulled into the vacuum system causing lots of white smoke and extreme rough running.

Engine light on and idling rough

What code(s) are coming up when scanned?

You said you changed "the" O2 sensor? I believe your vehicle has two O2 sensors. One is located upstream from the catalytic converter and the other is located downstream from it. Is it possible that you changed one and left the other?
