Scanning/Retrieving codes gives an Automotive Technician basic info......Usually with multiple possible scenarios for the cause of said code(s).Throwing parts at an improperly diagnoised vehicle is what you are now facing....Time for a pro.

Before replacing the O2 sensors, I would check the fuel pressure. You may also try to have someone pull a trouble code from the powertrain control module to verify why the engine light is on. Do not replace any parts until this is done, otherwise your going to be guessing at the root cause, and it will get expensive with part replacement.

silly question, however did you check the air box for nests. it is not uncommon for rodents to climb in and make themselves at home. i would also say to get a maf from ford. check ALL around the engine compartment and underneath for evidence of rodents and their leavings. youll be very suprised what you may find.cheers

You may have to dig deeper for a vacuum leak. It's possibly the intake manifold gasket. Try spraying some starting fluid around the intake manifold. Also try disconnecting the brake booster and plugging that hose, the diaphram in the booster could be ruptured, causing a vacuum leak. Check the PCV valve and hose too.

SOURCE: 2001 GMC Jimmy Idling rough

I know the post is old but this is for the people who have the same problem like me and still search the web for a solution. P0300 random misfire code, rough idle after it warms up and then exhaust smells like eggs. Check the plugs 5 and 6 should have black carbon (rich fuel) plugs 1 to 4 look good. The problem was for me the Fuel Pressure Regulator. You will have to remove the air plenum to get to the fuel injector spider. Not difficult just follow a repair manual. You should notice the intake under neat will have a blackened appearance for intakes 1 to 4 and 5 and 6 will look clean. The regulator is venting the fuel and it is running down into 5 and 6 hence the fouled spark plugs. The regulator is on the back of the spider and easy to replace the biggest problem I had was getting to the fuel lines to disconnect them. Runs great now.

Have a 2011 Chevy Cruze engine light is on with a arrow pointing down

The light is displayed when a noticeable reduction in your vehicles performance may occur. The vehicle may be driven at a reduced speed when reduced engine power light is on but acceleration and speed may be reduced. The performance may be reduced until the next time you drive your vehicle. If the light stays on see your dealer as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair. If you run out of gas, the light may be lit since there is no power.

Overheat in 2011 chevy cruze lt

My experience has been causes for over heating was.
leak and low coolant, fan not running if you have 2 fans one come on when A/C is turned on the other comes on when engine reaches operating temp. I have had thermostat stuck closed, radiator cap not sealing, fan fuse or relay, temp sensor not working temp sensor could keep your fan from coming on, I have also had to change a couple radiator but it was due to leak. I have heard of some where radiator was blocked up, I think those were issues of stop leak was used for many years.
