First,call a shop or dealer to make sure the proper plug is on the proper coil location,unless you are POSITIVE that they have not been messed with recently.Then Check the spark plug wires.Also,push down on the plug wires and trace them back to where they originate(coil pack),and push down on them to ensure tight fit.If it's still bad,check the plug wires.Remove them from the plugs and make sure they are not broken.If it is a 4 cylinder,the coil pack may operate those 2 cylinders on one side and 1+4 on the other.If you do anything such as replacing the coil pack,make diagrams of the wire's traced out locations from spark plugs to coils.If you get one wrong,it will be worse.If the plugs have never been changed yet,it may simply be that they have fouled.Greg

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

Where is Bank 2 sensor 1 oxygen sensor on my 2007 tundra 5.7

Bank 1 is always the sameside of the engine as the number one cylinder.
Bank 2 is always the other side of the engine.
Sensor 1 is always before the cat
sensor 2 is always after the cat.

Cylinder number 1 on this engine is on the drivers side. So bank 2 is the passenger side of the engine and sensor 1 will be located before the catalytic converter.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

2000 Nissan mis firing,, code reader shows codes: 0430; 0305; and 1320. Assuming its bank 2 cat convertor. Is this where i should start???

430 is Oxygen sensor

0305 is misfire on cylinder 5

1320 is ignition coil.

The ignition coil is causing the misfire. That is causing rich mixture which could case the oxygen sensor issue. You need to work from the ignition issue to the sensor. The reason is if you replace the cat and the engine is running rich it will heat the cat up to the point that the car might catch fire. Oxygen sensors are also prone to fail after about 60 thousand miles.

2001 deville cylinder misfire 4

the problem is the injector or injector wiring
oil can only get to the cylinder via the inlet and that will burn off or foul that plug
MAF/VAF will cause misfiring
the oxygen sensors to replace are the heated oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter not the ones after the converters

I have research around and found that the Bank 1 sensor 3 O2 sensor is post Cat. But when I got under there I dont see anything that could resemble a sensor. Where is it. Please help. Marc

try this
ALLDATA Editor's Note: Always verify #1 cylinder location prior to diagnosis and repair.

- Cylinder bank number one is the bank that contains number one cylinder.

Cylinder #1 on right side.

- The first oxygen sensor in cylinder bank # 1 is numbered O2 Sensor 1/1.
- The second oxygen sensor in cylinder bank # 1 is numbered O2 Sensor 1/2.
- A third oxygen sensor in cylinder bank # 1 would be numbered O2 Sensor 1/3.
- The first oxygen sensor in cylinder bank # 2 is numbered O2 Sensor 2/1.
- The second oxygen sensor in cylinder bank # 2 is numbered O2 Sensor 1/1.



- If a V-6 or V-8 vehicle only uses one downstream Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) it is numbered O2 Sensor 1/2, even if it uses two upstream HO2S.

Po300,301,302,161,306 code numbers,what are they.upon acceleration it is like gas is having problem being sent to engine

P300 is random multiple misfire,301 is cylinder 1 misfire. 302 is cylinder 2 misfire & 306 is cylinder 6 misfire. P161 is a bad heater circuit in oxygen sensor bank 2 sensor 2. It is behind catalytic convertor. I would replace downstream oxygen sensor & clear codes. Run vehicle it may be all that is wrong.

Engine misfire and some times does not start when cold

Replace the Oxygen sensor. All your trouble codes are downstream of the oxygen sensor, and are related to it.

Once you replace the oxygen sensor (replace with a BOSCH sensor!), remove the positive battery cable, step on your brakes for 10 seconds, then reattach the cable. This will clear the codes from your ECM (Electronic Control Module).
