Codes keep popping up for months now. I'll be driving and all of a sudden car runs rough, then shuts off. After it goes off the chart and the engine light blinks. Start right back up after a few minutes but then shuts off again. I've replaced the plugs, wires, coil, o2 sensors, fuel pump, fuel rail, fpr, engine harness, and all sensors. Still does it. Any help would be great.

Hi,

Both of these codes are related to the heated oxygen sensors. Now, you mentioned that you replaced the sensors. Were they all replaced? Here is a list of possible causes:

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- O2 sensor heater operation
- O2 heater element
- O2 heater ground circuit open
- O2 sensor
- O2 heater control shorted to voltage
- O2 heater control circuit open
- PCM

I have flow charts for each code. I am going to provide flow charts from both. The attached pics are the actual flow charts. The following correlates with the pics.
