2005年8月18日 · What Service Engine Soon codes does it throw? P0178 and P0179 are directly related to the sensor its self P0178 - Fuel Composition Sensor. Sensor Circuit Low Volts P0179 - Fuel Composition Sensor. Sensor Circuit High Volts Can this really effect anything? Yes, It can cause your truck to run richer then it should.

2014年8月19日 · I've got a 2000 S10 with the 2.2 (VIN 5) that is throwing a P0179 code (it's also throwing a P0141, but I'm hoping that correcting the Fuel Sensor will kill two birds with one stone). The general consensus is to replace the Fuel Composition Sensor (GM Part# 12570260 I believe). A few questions...

Customer: 2000 Chevy S10 RWD 2.2 I'm getting a P0179 for the fuel composition sensor. The car is sluggish and stalls randomly. How do I test the sensor to be sure because they are price gouging for the part and I would like to be 100% sure before paying $600 for this little thing. Thanks, ***** ***** is James

The P0179 is a fairly straight forward code pointing to a problem with the Fuel Composition Sensor (aka "Flex Fuel Sensor"). This sensor is located under the vehicle, about midway.

Customer: Hey, will a bad fuel composition sensor cause my truck not to start? I've had code p0179 for a few years now but never got around to fixing it. Now my truck stalls randomly and sometimes doesn't start at all. I changed the fuel pump and checked the wiring. All good there. Just curious if that sensor is responsible for the stalling and no start. Thanks! Mechanic's Assistant: Hi there ...

Customer: I have a 2000 chevy s-10 2.2L 2wd truck I have a "fuel compensation sensor" code P0179 Hi which was read after the engine for, unknown reasons, simply stalled.

2007年3月8日 · What is Flex Fuel? A flexible fueled vehicle (FFV) has a single fuel tank, fuel system, and engine. The vehicle is designed to run on unleaded gasoline and an alcohol fuel (usually ethanol) in any mixture. The engine and fuel system in a flex-fuel vehicle must be adapted slightly to run on...
