From o2 sensor to engine replacement in 10 days?

What j2534 protocol device did you buy?

Note if you bought the mini vci off of Amazon for ~$20, you’ll probably have some setup to do.

But you can get it eventually .

Good luck and keep us posted .

 

Anything different about the fuel into that car lately? Lousy fuel can cause a whole mess of problems.

 

Ok. It's possible for a station to get a bad batch, but chances are you would have heard about it from a local acquaintance/read about it in local media. That kind of thing gets around. You can probably discount the idea of bad fuel.

I think you have a sound plan for the techstream setup. I haven't had to tool up for that yet, but I already have the carefree laptop setup with software for another car, so it probably wouldn't be much beyond.

Good luck!

 

I know my parents have gotten some bad gas from the Sheetz by the Luzerne Bank in Trucksville . They stay away from that and if they buy imbthe Dallas Area will stop by the Newell Fuel station across the street or the PSC station by Frontier on the Tunkhannock Highway .

Some other options.

 

The one just down the road from Fire and Ice restaurant as you go from Shavertown toward Trucksville.

Right on the Dallas Memorial Highway (or 309).

 

I've burned their gas in all of our current cars without issue, but I haven't traveled in northern PA since the 80s.

On the other hand... Sheetz food? I spent 12 days in India eating any random thing that caught my eye and it did less harm to me than one Sheetz hot breakfast. That's where you'd really miss a WaWa.

 

It might be called Community Bank now.

That bank has changed names several times since it was built in the early 2000’s. Where the Sheetz sits is actually an old LL Richardson’s Dodge dealership back into the 90’s.

But there are plenty of gas stations around in a 3 mile radius of the Sheetz.

Good luck and keep us posted .

 

Dallas or Lake-Lehman ?

I’m a black knight and they had a good public school system. We even won the Old Shoe a time or 2 when I was in high school.

I have a friend whose wife works at Pen Argyl district and she says that their district could be better .

But they live in Mountaintop as my friend works out in Lehman. Kinda midway.

 

Bank 1 Sensor 2 would be the downstream sensor after the cat, easy access and doesn't require a $30 extremely thin walled socket.

Here is the workup for DTC P0136, P0137, P0138 :

If the dealer installed an OEM Toyota catalytic converter AND a OEM Toyota downstream heated oxygen sensor and it is throwing a DTC P0137, you might have a warranty claim on the parts and work that they recently completed. I would be the squeaky wheel in this situation, after making sure that the problem was actually theirs to remedy.

No worries, even the 'Pros' at the dealer(s) are confused at times.

On page 05-126 in the 'Trouble Area' for DTC P0137 it mentions the EFI M relay, an open in heated oxygen sensor, the heated oxygen sensor and heated oxygen sensor heater. And further down in the work up it mentions connectors, connections and harnesses among other 'Intermittent Problems' : https://share.qclt.com/%E4%B8%B0%E7%94%B0%E6%99%AE%E7%91%9E%E6%96%AF%E5%8E%9F%E5%8E%82%E8%8B%B1%E6%96%87%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8CPDF%E6%A0%BC%E5%BC%8F/Prius%20Service%20Manuals%202004/%E4%BF%AE%E7%90%86%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8C/04pruisr/05/2054m/cichkint.pdf

This $30 socket might work, though many have ground down $10 thicker walled sockets with a bench grinder and had success : Oxygen sensor - collar around it?? | Page 3 | PriusChat
