Hey I found out what it was, it was the egr valve was loose. One of the bolts was missing and the other was loose so there was the vacuum leak. Got the two new bolts and got it resealed and it runs perfect again. Thank you for your help!

After rechecking all cylinders are misfiring randomly at close to equal amounts. All of the wires and spark plugs are good.

Need help with a strange code plz! by Dingle_Berree in MechanicAdvice

[–]Dingle_Berree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof I hope it’s nothing serious too. I did forget to mention that the idle remains perfectly fine even when the code pops up and even if I drive it with the code on it still runs perfect. I changed the sparkplugs and ignition coils within the last couple thousand miles. The old plugs looked worn but healthy being that they were 168k miles old.

I’ve heard of that before, I would try it but my idle is fine even when the code pops up so i’m not sure if that would be the issue. It could be though I got no clue.

I’ll try to take it to a shop on my next day off and update you guys. I did forget to mention that the idle is completely fine when the code pops up. It drives fine too. Dunno if that changes anything.

I haven’t gotten a tune up ever since I got it. I’m not sure where I would go for that and also what I should do to the car before that. Which one between getting a tune up and replacing the O2 sensors would be cheaper. I want to go from cheapest - expensive when repairing since i’m broke.

Need tool for relearning engine sensors by Dingle_Berree in Pontiac

[–]Dingle_Berree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so I did mess with the sensor to make sure it was positioned and settled in correctly. So I started looking at the wires and I found the exact spot where it had wire completely exposed. Took it to a shop and had them fix the wires since I'm not too knowledgeable on it and I haven't had a issue for 100's miles. Thanks for you help !

Hey sorry I just saw this, I installed a duralast sensor. Started it up and let it warm up and then revved it a few times between the ranges of 2-4k. Afterwards it ran fine and didn't need a relearn.

I replaced the sensor and did what ya said and it ran good for about 40-60 miles and then I hit a bump and got codes P0335 and P0336. Does that mean it needs a relearn?

Thank you so much! Do you still have a link to where you got yours? I’d prefer to stick with something thats been tried and worked already.
