SOURCE: check engine light

that code is saying that your catilitic converter is junk, but could be caused by some other problem also gas leak on exhaust system a/f sensor bank 1,2 sensor 2. heated oxygen sensor bank1 sensor 2, or the three way catilitic converter. these are the listed reasons for that code being thrown, to tell you the truth its not really that big of a deal ya know, i mean its just emissions, either the cat is bad or the oxygen sensor is bad in my opinion will it hurt the car? no, will that little light annoy the **** out of you? YES ; ) because the sensor is behind the cat it will not have any imput into your computer to change fuel maps or anything, the post sensors are only for reading if the cat is good or not, i actually cut mine off and the cat, the check engine light might always be on, but if my car messes up for some other reason then i will feel or smell it and dont really need the dummy light yea know? anyways its your choice to live with it or to take it to the shop and have your sensor tested/cat looked at, either way it wont hurt your car, if your front o2's start going bad you have to change those, but not the post cat one. dont let those shop guys bully ya into spending to much tell me what they say cause there always after an unsuspecting person's wallet, thats why i opened my own shop.

if this helped throw some blue/fix ya rating.
take care have a good day

I would think it would be just the Camshaft Position Sensor.I looked up the codes and they say pretty much the samething.


P0340 Ford Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction


P1336 Ford Crankshaft/Camshaft Sensor Range/Performance

Check your fuel cap to see if it is on good.This all deals with that,you may even have to replace the fuel cap.But the emissions can mean a lot of thingsHave the egr position sensor checked and it`s hoses,Check the air filter and have the egr took off and cleaned and checkedI hope this was somewhat helpful,emissons can be trickie.

My abs light don't come on my ford 2003

abs light on dash panel should only light for two seconds upon starting of engine , then go out . if it comes on and stays on then this indicates a fault has been detected in your abs system , by body control module (fault can be any where on car) a code reader will be required to know reason for abs fault

Tried getting ford f150 4.2 2003 inspected. Replaced air filter and fuel filter already. Check engine lit was on before replacing them . Now check engine light is out . But won't pass inspection.

As for your codes p1131 and 1151: Ford - Lack Of Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1 Switches - Sensor Indicates Lean


Last week I had the very same catalyst, evap and ECG codes come up on my 1999 Mercury Mystique which is like a Ford Taurus. A friend was able to find a hole or leak in the hose connected, replaced it and it runs fine. I havent run it a full and straight 50 miles yet to clear the check engine light but that repair alone changed the entire way the car was poorly driving. Im sure that hasnt fixed all the probs but thats a good starting point.

How does one disconnect the check engine light on a 1996 ford f 150 pick up? engine light stays on and has been checked by ford repair with no insuing issues. light still remains on.

The check engine light comes on because the computer has detected a problem. You need to have the truck scanned for fault codes. Try going to Autozone or similar place to get the scan done. Once you have the codes, you can post them here for an expert to evaluate.

Service light is on

Take the truck to an autoparts store and have the scan the computer for fault codes. Most parts stores will do the scan for free. The check engine light comes on when the computer has detected a fault in one of the vehicle's systems. Getting the codes will show what problems/potential problems the computer has identified. Hope this helped and best wishes.
