Po171, Po300 Help ?

bubba9459 · February 16, 2010

Hello, looking for some help / advice for my 03 Silverado

About a month ago, my 03 started getting a rough idle when sitting at a stop light,( SES on)

Took it to a GM dealer, they checked the codes, It had PO131, PO171, PO174, PO300, P1133, They said I needed intake gaskets, and Bank1Sensor1 O2 sensor.

I replaced the intake gaskets with a FelPro set, Replaced the Bank1 Sensor1 O2, Cleaned MAF, changed fuel filter.

Still no good, I am still getting PO171, PO300, and now the P1133 came back. I have cleared codes several times, The PO171 pending comes back within seconds, and after a few minutes the PO300.

Still running rough, Leaves black soot under the tailpipes, fuel mileage dropping .

I have tried looking for bad vacum hoses, they all seem ok, Tried spraying carb cleaner around new intake gaskets, Throttle body o-ring, Intake pipes,and all vacuum hoses, Nothing.

Fuel pressure is 54 with Key on

48-49 at Idle

48-49 at 3000 rpm

58 If I snap the throttle hard.

Codes from cheapy code reader :

PO171, PO300, P1133

PO171 pd, PO300 pd

Monitors 3 inc. Catlyst, Evap, O2 sensor

4 Ready. Misfire, Fuel, Comp, O2 HTR

Got a vacuum gauge today.

Connected to the PCV port I am getting a steady 17 in, with only a Vary, vary slight fluctuation, maybe 1/2 in, or so.

With the gauge connected to the PCV port, engine runs smooth, at a normal idle. When I reconnect the PCV valve the rough idle returns.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

Still trying to find a shop to run the smoke test. No luck, I have called five gm dealers, and none of them do it. Also called 2 of the little specialty shops, they don't have it either.

I did put a new PCV valve, and hose on, Nothing. But I guess theres not much chance of the PCV valve being bad since it's just an orifice, no check valve like the old ones.

Had to drive it this morning, SES light kept flashing every few minutes.

Replaced plugs, and wires today, Bank 1 plugs clean, Bank 2 plugs Black. Cleared codes, let it idle for a for about 10 minutes, No black soot

Took it for about a 20 mile drive, ran perfect, Smooth idle, No SES light. Got back home, and let it idle for a few minutes, Went back to rough idle, PO171, PO300, PO131, P1133 back again, Black soot back again.

I'm at a loss, I guess, I have no choice now, but to take it to a dealer, and get the royal treatment.

I will say I just had this exact thing happen to me, but with the Bank 2 Sensor 1, but exactly the same symptoms. Replacing the sensor fixed me. Could you possibily have got a bad new sensor. All your codes still point to a bad sensor. I had seen a video on Advance Autos web site on how to test a sensor to see if it is working properly. I would give that a shot before going to the dealer.

Took it to another dealer, They suggested replacing the other pre-converter sensor, Bank2 Sensor1, even though it didn't have a code for it.

So far, Seems to have fixed it, Haven't had any more trouble.

Doesn't make much sense, but I guess if it's working

I also had the same symptoms. Engine misfiring, running rough, black soot coming out of tail pipe and engine codes p0171 and p0300. I replaced the Bank 2 sensor 1 O2 sensor and the problem was resolved. Truck running great again.

Thanks for the advice!

That is about the identical problem I am having! Can anyone verify some Part #'s from Rockauto? I think I will just replace both upstream sensors while I'm at it.

How many miles are on you truck?
