Issue after replacing O2 Sensors

5

Asked by Sabe90 Mar 29, 2020 at 05:04 PM about the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze LT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair


I have a 2017 Chevy Cruze Lt. My check
engine light had came on and off for a few
months with a code reading for bad upstream
O2 sensor. My car still drove fine. I finally had
the upstream O2 sensor replaced along with
the downstream as well since I had read it’s
best to go ahead and change them both out.
A couple days after they were replaced I
noticed the car stalling some(I have the stop-
go feature on this car) so when I stop at a red
light and the car goes off then back on, when I
press the gas to go it stalls a little...almost
feels like gas isn't being pushed through
correctly. The check engine light came on and
read for code P0172 which indicates that the
bank 1 system is too rich for a predetermined
period of time.
There is a note on the Autozone paper that
suggests the solution is to replace the PCV
tube.

Considering the the info of just replacing the
O2 sensors. Does anyone have any thoughts
on this or dealt with anything like this?

P0172 can be caused by leaking fuel injectors, Leaking fuel injectors Fuel return line restricted Fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor bias EVAP purge valve is leaking when the canister is full

That 0172 code is covered under a manufacture defect (not recall) take it to a GM dealership there are required to fix it free of charge I just had to have mine replaced on my 2014 Cruze.
