I'm sorry but are you asking a question? That doesn't seem like it has anything to do with O2 sensors. If you don't have a manual then I would Google the year of your Malibu plus those symptoms. Chances are someone, somewhere has experienced the same problem you're having.

Had to do the downstream sensor on wife's 16' Malibu, pulled the exhaust manifold heat shield, went from underneath to remove sensor, heated with torch for 15-20 seconds, then it came loose. Now the fun part is getting to that damned plug! Can't get to with hand so used a long flat head to slide the white tab back, then had wife push down on button with crow bar and I went in from side with flat head to get in between both connectors and walked it off. Trying to get new one back on is just a pure nightmare and have no good suggestions

Would this be something that shows up when the heater & defrost are on ?Dealership said it was mass air flow sensor due to the P1101 code but that’s newly replaced a day and a half later the engine light is on again. Also starting to smell a light rotten egg smell when I cut the heater on, so does this sensor play a role in the catalytic converter. I have a 2020 Chevy Malibu by the way.
@carlstewart1963 Жыл бұрын
I don't think that was the code I pulled for needing that sensor replaced and those symptoms I haven't had. You could Google those symptoms with the year and make of your car and see if anyone else has had this and what caused it. That's what I would do. I don't think they make a Haynes manual yet for that year so I would Google it. I will break my manual out anyway to see if these symptoms appear in an earlier year but it's in my Malibu and won't be home until tomorrow.

Are you asking why I replaced it? I have an OBD II reader and pulled a code that says why the check engine light was on. I then looked the code up and confirmed what sensor was going bad. Is your engine light on? If it is, did you pull a code? What was the code?

@@carlstewart1963 ok makes sense, nah no code man that’s part of the problem. Took it to the dealer and they brush it off, said there was nothing they can do, due to no check engine or fault codes.
@carlstewart1963 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, it messes them up when the light isn't isn't on. That means there's no code for them to pull. So you can go to an aut parts store like AutoZone or Advanced Auto Parts and see if they have a Haynes Manual for the year, make and model of her car. Inside the manual you can look up the symptoms in the trouble shooting section. Or you can also Google the symptoms along with the year, make and model of the car and see if it's a common issue and what night be the cause. And go from there.

Good video here. If I could make a couple of suggestions though... I would be real careful not to pry, or press anything on your valve cover seal, or the machined groove it fits in. Damaging the seal is one thing, but damaging the cover is worse. And this isn't so much a suggestion, maybe more of a pointer... I like how you used the flat head on the underside of the seal. You don't want to damage the cover at all if you can avoid it, but especially the surface that will mate with the outside diameter of your oil seal. Cause what these seals are is a metal clad oil seal, very similar to a metal clad wiper on a hydraulic cylinder, only the wiper won't hold any pressure. The oil seal, sometimes called a shaft seal is made to actually hold pressure. Not sure how much in the case of a car but alot of the ones I've seem in hydraulics shops hold low pressure. Like 10-15 psi. So if that side wall of that cover that mates with the OD of the oil seal gets damaged it'll allow oil to pass right by it. Anyway, not trying to give negative criticism. I think you did a good job on the video. Thanks for sharing!
