2012 Nissan Versa 1.6, after idling for a about 20 minutes (or while in heavy traffic) engine starts sputtering and eventually would stall. Would no start till cooled off. The following codes come up : P0300 & P0171 After half hour or so the engine would start normally.

P0171 and P0174 are telling you that each cylinder bank is running too lean. P0300 is telling you there is a misfire, possibly caused by the other codes. This is why the engine is running rough.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the feedback FatalBert. I've tried the dealer last Friday (the car is under extended warranty) and they didn't find anything, thus I've purchased the obd2 reader to check myself and found these codes. The problem is that the issue appears only after a long period of idling, so I guess they didn't try that even though I've explained the symptoms. Also I've noticed that these codes are getting cleared after some time. I'll go to them tomorrow morning, hopefully with a little help from 'unprofessional me' they will now find and fix the root cause :)"

    A quick follow up: Luckily, mechanic was able to replicate the error code and performed an ECM re-programming to fix the root cause. Unfortunately on my way back home the engine died again. I was in heavy traffic for about half an hour and the symptoms were exactly the same. (errors are P0300 and U0100 now) Basically, you just need to idle while on gear for 10 mins or so to replicate the problem.

    Going back to the dealer, hope this time they will fix it.

SOURCE: 2007 Ford F-250, 5.4 Engine-Missing,

Hello, There is an extended Warranty for "Cam Phasers". I want to say 7 Years and 90,000 Miles. But some of the repairs are on a case by case basis. Years 2004-2008 were affected.

I will tell you what your Codes mean.p0011 and p0022 are both for the Camshaft position sensors. One side is overadvanced and the other is retarded. Code p 0171 is an O2 sensor, Code 0300 is random misfiring, Codes p0305 and 0307 are the #5 and #7 cylinder misfires. Code p0316 is a general misfire when starting up, and finally the p2198 is a rich condition O2 sensor on bank2 sensor 1.

All of these make sense when the Cam on bank 1 is over advanced you will run lean and the Cam on bank 2 is retarded, you will run rich. The misfires are from incorrect timing and affected fuel mix.

There are "cheater tools" for this repair which will cut Labor costs in half. Check the Web for Mac tools, Snap-on, and so forth. The cheater works by pressing down on the internal chain tensioner to make slack in the timing chain. You take off the valve covers and unbolt the Cam (Phaser) gear and sneak it out through the valve cover opening. The CAM PHASERS cost $300 to $500 apiece.

A normal repair without the cheater involves removing the front of the motor up to the heads and still requires removing the valve covers.

I hope my solution is very helpful to you, at least you know why you are getting the Codes you are reading.

SOURCE: check engine light on,running rough and stalling.

SOURCE: My C230 Mercedes has check engine light on. Car

P0171 indicates a lean condition. The most common cause of this is a defective mass air flow sensor. Also check if any vacuum leaks.Replace MAf sensor,if cleaning the MAF does not help.
Thanks.

SOURCE: Missing, running very rough at

the P0011 and P0022 are the camshaft sensors (both sides) are over advanced--common problem on Fords, and is usually a defective VCT solenoid (variable cam timing solenoid)-it will cause your other codes (P0300 random misfire), P0305 (#5 cylinder), P0307 (#7), P0316 (misfire at startup)-P0171 is a lean condition on side 1, where #1 plug is located (look for a vacuum leak, but a faulty VCT could also cause this)-is there any chance the last oil change set this off? The proper viscosity is very important and may have caused these codes.

The P2198 is O2 sensor signal stuck rich bank 2 sensor 1. Has the engine or sensors recently gotten a bath in oil (seafoam?)-this code indicates something of possibly an over zealous maintenance procedure could have damaged maybe the MAP sensor, or more.... Unfortunately, you have a lot of company. At least you didn't crack a piston or hydrolock the engine. Seafoam is pale oil, naptha, and alcohol. With more detail there should be a reason for all those somewhat related codes-post more information.

Why is my car messing up

Obviously its problem with your fuel to air mixture. It is building up unburnt fuel due to not enough oxygen. This lack of enough oxygen will cause the stalls and the build up of gas will cause the backfires. Heat affects the mixture ratio. A number of detector are involved in the exhaust system and any one of them could be failing. Throttle Position Sensors, MAP sensor, Oxygen sensors, catalytic converter, etc. You should be getting the check engine light coming on also. Any auto parts place can read you the code numbers for free. They will provide more specific information about failing parts.
