Hello all, I'm currently trying to get my car all fixed up after the wife rolled it. I've got the engine running again but it's throwing these two codes. Any thoughts on how to remedy this?

Those codes are for your upstream oxygen sensors stuck lean. Can your scan tool look at live data? If you can, look at the long and short term fuel data on banks 1 and 2. Also look at the the mass air flow data at idle with all loads off example, A/C off, lights off. Post your readings on here to get an idea as to what is going on.

You could have a vacuum leak, faulty mass air flow reading or low fuel pressure. It is very unlikely but plausible to have two upstream sensors stuck lean. Let us know what those readings are to get a an idea as to what is going on and any parts you have already replaced.

Honestly, I'm not too familiar with reading the live data, I'll add pictures to for the complete set. I haven't truly replaced anything except adding transmission fluid that drained out while upside down and the cleaning the upper intake that had oil in it and replacing the air filter.

I converted the mass air flow reading to grams per second and found the reading is 8.2 grams per second which is too high for your vehicle. Normal should be closer to 3 grams per second. I would recommend you start with cleaning the mass air flow sensor to see if we can get that reading down.

Here is a link to help guide you:

Clean it, reset the computer and warm up the engine again and post the trims for bank 1 and mass air flow reading.

Also, just to verify, your engine is a 3.0L?

Yes, I have the 3.0. Cleaned the MAF.
MAF = 6.0479g/s
O2S11 =.040
02S12 =.015

Reading is still high and with the new code it appears like the mass air flow sensor is the root cause for the light to come. If you have been driving like that for a while it could cause the oxygen sensors to remain stuck lean which may require you to replace as well if they remain stuck lean.

After replacing the mass air flow sensor, reset the light and recheck oxygen sensors to verify they are switching 0.8 to 0.1 volts (close to it). Also on a side note, buy a quality name brand sensor. Usually the house brand will be calibrated different then from the OEM.

Put new MAF in-

O2S11 -.03-.035
02S12 -.015

Back to the original two codes.

What about P0113, did that go away. Also did the fuel trim numbers change?

Can you also post a picture of the mass air flow sensor reading as well. And what brand sensor did you install?

Sorry about the delay, we've been getting hit with snow and it's finally cleaning up. It's a bad sensor that I installed.

Hmm,

These codes are usually caused by a misfire how does the engine seem to run. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

When was the last tune up and did you use all OEM ignition parts? If it has been a while here is a guide to help you do the job correctly:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-tune-up-a-car-engine

Please run down this guide and report back. What is a BWD sensor?

The engine runs mostly fine, shakes a bit. I've replaced both upstream O2 sensors and b2s1 is still showing a code. Video should be attached.

If the code came back can you load pictures of the freeze frame data of the vehicle speed and long and short term fuel trims to see if this is happening at cruising speed. Also what name brand mass air flow sensor did you install?

The data is already stored. Go to freeze frame on your scan tool and take pictures of the vehicle speed, rpm, and fuel trims.
