02 sensors, CAT and fuel mileage mystery

1 Upvotes

​

2009 CRV 250,000 KM. Was getting about 8.5L / 100km on highway. Now about 10.5L/ 100km

Then check engine

Was getting P133 code and 141. Replaced o2 sensors and cat ( as it was too rusted to fix)

Used cheapest cat and o2 sensors. Fuel mileage was great again for a few days. Then P420 code - poor cat efficiency. Poor fuel.mileage. auto shop says its cheap cat

Replaced with a high-end walker cat. Fuel mileage a little better 10L / 100km on highway

I kept cheap o2 sensors and at some point in journey, I Replaced plugs with cheap Amazon plugs

mechanic watched live data. Doenstream o2 sensor heater current issue at 0.68 - acceptable range is 0.8 to 1.20

BUT NO CODES.

Can cheap o2 sendors AND /OR cheap plugs affect my fuel mileage without throwing up codes?

Could the cheap cat have damaged my cheap sensors?

Thanks alot

I almost jumped all over this deal on 30lb cans of R134A but it seems too good to be true. These are selling at +/-$300 from major retailers. Anybody bought from Perinhub.shop before?

I need serious advice. I got this vehicle from a buy here pay here, they said they didn’t have a chance to inspect AFTER I already started the paperwork. I’m already having major problems, I am trying to find out what I need to do step by step to fix this vehicle myself without having to replace the Cvt transmission, unless that would be the best option.

I am experiencing loss of power, shuddering, jerking, and not going into gear. Rpms are also jumping up and down.

As of now my husband has done a full drain and change of transmission fluid because the dealership overfilled it and the fluid was burnt with shaving or something in it.

These are the codes my vehicle is throwing :

P0171
Power Train
System

Fuel System Lean - B1
Code P0171 indicates that the Bank 1 System is too lean for a predetermined period of time.

P0171

P0174

P0300

P0841

Fuel System Lean - B1
Fuel System Lean - B2

Multiple Misfires Failure

Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit

Secondary DTCS

P0171
P0174
P0171
P0174
Fuel System Lean - B1
Fuel System Lean - B2
Fuel System Lean - B1
Fuel System Lean - B2

ABS

On cold start ,the lower air flap opens/closes 3 times then beeps and settles closed .

When I turn the engine off it reopens on its own and stay in open position.

Please advise if this is normally working or a sign of a fault ..no symbols on dashboard..thanks for your time
