Help!! Car needs help!

Help!! Car needs help!

Postby yoboyandre » Sun May 30, 2010 9:49 am

Hey everyone, so I've had my CEL on for a little while now havent had time to check it out, but this morning on the way home my car started acting like it wanted to stop( as if i didnt have gas) but I have a full tank of gas and just changed my oil. A little after that happened my solara finally just turned off while I was driving. When i turned it back on, after a couple tries, it was making a loud knocking noise from the motor. I just got the codes and they are P0105, P0120, P0401, P1133... The P0401 code was on a while ago and never did anything about it, but now this noise and these other codes! HELP ME PLEASE!!!! Let me know any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!!

P0105 - MAP sensor malfunction
P0120 - TPS sensor malfunction
P0401 - EGR insufficient flow
P1133?? You mean P0133? Heated oxygen sensor slow

well i hope you checked the obvious... the oil. make sure there is enough in there and its not leaking out. though im pretty sure you would have got a different light on the dash for low oil pressure, still, with the engine knocking, i hope it has oil in it.

Yeah I know what the codes mean, but those can be many things and hundreds spent for nothing , so I want to know if anyone has any ways to test certain areas to find the real problem?.. and I did check the oil, its fine and I just changed it 2 weeks ago. There was a bit of oil stuff on screw part of 1 spark plug could that be something? or also trans fluid? thanks for help!!

When I was 17 I was delivering Asian food and drove my boss' 96' honda accord. One day, while driving, I had the exact same problem and the motor was making knocking noises and the car was stopping. We never took the car to a mechanic but it obviously needed a new motor and we never used the car...
