Straight to the point and not complicated to understand. I like this. New subscriber here 🙌🔥
My check engine hasn't been off in years
Cobalt?
Have this problem rite now . Spark plugs need to be changed with the valve cover gasket.. burnt oil smell/little smoke from time to time. Precision want a bag to fix lol
Man I’ve been searching for the my p0303 code for a month. Changed out the spark plugs, wires and ignition coils. Add an aggressive fuel injection cleaner. Nothing. I noticed a leak of oil from the valve cover where cylinder 5 and 3 are at. hopefully this solves the issue. Truck runs great just pops that code from time to time.
I have the same issue as you on my ford focus 2012
Is it safe to replace the bad gasket with rtv silicone?
No do not just use rtv purchase the correct gasket for your vehicle. Use a little rtv where needed a very small amount. And make sure to clean the surface of both the engine and the valve cover itself. When cleaning old gunk off make sure to wipe it out tword you as not to get it into the engine
Just getting mine replaced on my 2011 5.0. I had smoke coming from the oil compartment engine backfires and it was burning oil and loss of acceleration getting it back tomorrow they also fixed my vacumme leak so hopefully it goes back to 100%
Does tightening down help this. i saw a video where all of the screws were loose on the valve cover.
Replace your shirt bro it’s way cheaper than buying the whole new engine
@@8Jallin Mine isn't leaking, kind of a light mist of oil on the side of it. That's why I asked. The truck only has 43k but it's an 06 and within time gaskets dry up. I end up buying both covers, seals, New Z1 Electronic Coils as well as 6 new spark plugs.
@@ELEVOPR I see. Good thing it all worked out for you. I might check mine before I install a new one I might be lose too.
Does this affect when you start up your car. Sounds like it doesn't want to start then it starts
Either your starter or your timing chain/belt
So I have been chasing code after code, so now here we are left with the last 4 codes, bank1&2 lean, Catalyst both banks below threshold, LTFT is sitting at 33 at idle. I have been hunting down what the heck could still be leaking, then I did my spark plugs and saw oil and put two and two together, pcv directly to intake is on valve cover.
@theory816 So I solved it, I was watching bank 2 being rich and not paying any attention to the lean on bank 1. So ripped apart and replaced valve cover gaskets, and pcv valve, egr O ring and intake upper and lower. Car runs mint. Still have a fluctuating idle sitting in drive. But I am going to address the transmission too, filter and fluid.
@theory816 when I blew my timing belt it was negative 5 degrees out, I kind of screwed that one up myself, gasket was smooshed and twisted, and after I was done, I didn't do the pcv valve yet, my first ride smoked out the hood, PCV valve went completely.
Switched my alternator twice because oil was getting on it and making it fail any idea why this might happen
Yes from a valve gasket leak
Will this cause oil on the spark plugs from the leaking? But only on the threads, the rest of my spark plugs are clean
Usually the plug valley will fill up, even covering part of the spark plug boot. So it's only oil at the threads and below, nothing above the crush washer? If that's the case then unfortunately you have a much bigger problem. :(
I think it depends on how long u leave the issue un fixed or something I'm a complete novice also it might be how the valve cover was made
I replaced my valve cover gasket two times now in 2 months. It was leaking fresh oil the 2nd time around. Could this be the mechanics error the first go around?
Eh prob cover itself warped
Did you replace the washers
How much is a usual fix for this? I have this problem and it’s not killing my car as of now but i can smell the oil from time to time when I start my car
Do it yourself please
It’s easy to do yourself and costs like 20-40 bucks depending on what you drive
It was like 150 for me
Will it cause your car to shut off when you put it in drive or reverse?
Nope
@@easyautofix any reasons to that problem?
thats an electric issue, check your fuses.
My check engine is like an unhealthy relationship it goes away and comes back
Lol😂😂
How do you tell if you need to replace engine and cabin filters?
If you put the air filter infront of light and you could see the light through the filter it’s still good. If not then it needs to be replaced. I usually change mine every 12k miles. The cabin filter usually you could smell a bad smell when you turn on the ac. Sometimes it’s the cabin filter other times it’s mildew that grows from the water left after using your ac
If you don't know when the last time you changed it might as well go ahead and change them both.
Look at them if they look dirty then change them
