I have 2005 malibu maxx and just had the transmission fixed now my car idles poorly and I get exhaust smell i gives me a code po151b what o2 sensor is this

SOURCE: transmission fluid level?

There is a 11mm plug on the passenger side of the trans near the axle shaft. Remove that with the car level, trans hot, and engine idling. Fluid should just come out of there when its full.

SOURCE: transmission fluid level

It is usually printed on the Transmission dipstick.
Engine warm, engine running, on level ground. Check level on dipstick, shoud be somewhere between add and full. Do not add oil if it is not below the add line.

I had the same problem with my Z when i had it. But it worked when i just left the little hose off of the EGR valve.

Hello lmason: My name is Roger and I will help you. The engine in your car does not have a timing belt. THe engine has a timing chain. The chain is oiled by the engine lubrication. Therefore you do not need to change it like you would a timing belt. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. This way I know it was helpful Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
