Hey All need some help on the below codes...

P0455
P0134

Also, mechanic is telling me that the knocking sound I have been trying to figure out is a rod bearing. I have read around on the forums but haven't found a good thread on it yet. Anyone ever replaced these? How hard is it to do?

As always appreciate the assistance

 

P0134 O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
Check and make sure the connection is good, otherwise maybe a bad sensor.

P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak)
I would start by checking your gas cap. Have this problem all the time with my wife's saab 9-3 as her gas cap has a bad gasket so it leaks and we get the code for the same problem.

That's where I would start and then go from there.

Thanks Discomedic...

I checked the gas cap, seems like an aftermarket that doesn't quite fit correctly so going to replace that. New sensor is going in today.

 

get a new mechanic.....this guy sounds like he wants to make money ...not fix cars

unless hes checked oil pressure with a real gauge , or pulled the oil pan....theres a couple easy things that can cause a tick.... the last mechanic that told me i had a rod knock WAS WRONG...but i listened to him and learned the hard way


i wish repair shops took oath's like doctors do...

 

That oath means nothing to most Dr's.
My wife needs surgery, she cant eat and has lost 18lbs in alittle over a month.
The surgeon wont see her until the middle of August.
And this is to fix what he screwed up in the first surgery back in June.
I would trust a mechanic over a Dr.

 

NP man. Good luck with it. Make sure you post back once you get it fixed, that way others will know in the future.

 

That really sucks... i wish only the best for you two Spike... I hope only for a happy and good outcome...

as for oath... WTF...its a LR.. its a Fu$cking pile of Sh%t to begin with...how can you blame the next guy inline for something that was already terminal... give me a break... 03Disco man..you are getting a liitle to attached to your truck......It's a hunk a metal and not a very good one at that....

 

You have my sympathy... been there and done that. My wife had surgery in September and I don't even want to think about it, that was one of the worst experiences in my life - it even beats me taking shrapnel in combat. This health system sucks... rant over.
May your wife have a speedy recovery.

 

Yes our health system does suck, basically Dr's get "piece rate", but when you dont have insurance you get screwed because they think you wont pay.
I could go on for hours...

Thanks for the wishes and prayers guys.
