Check for cracks in the exhaust manifold - Air pulled in can lean the exhaust and cause the oxygen sensor to give false readings
The actual removal of the thermostat will not cause this condition but if you possibly disconnected a vacuum hose white changing the thermostat, WOULD cause that problem. Check all of the vacuum hoses to make sure they are connected and tight.
The Error code P0171B. The cause??? Help! vacuum leak. dirty injectors( 4 or 6 cyl.?)
You may just need a tuneup. Could be a number of things. Dirty fuel injectors, vacuum leak, etc.
The primary cause of a thermostat malfunction is corrosion. It prevents the thermostat from opening and closing as it normally would.
vacuum leak/intake leak,dirty/clogged injectors/dirty/faulty mass air sensor.
Yes it will cause it for sure. You will get DTC of P0170/P0173. Car will drive rough.
Normally you do not get carbon buildup on injectors. They can get gummed a little, or blocked, but that should not cause backfire. Check timing.
Gasoline will not dissolve the carbon deposits that clog the injectors but it will cause your engine to not start.
Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.
Bad spark plug(s), vacuum leak, dirty/failing fuel injectors... either of the first two are most likely problems to cause bad misses.
Yes a bad thermostat would cause overheating in any car. A thermostat regulates the temperature.
could be faulty plugs, wires, coils,clogged fuel filter, vacuum leaks in hoses or intake manifold,fuel injectors clogged, leaky egr vavle.
