So I took the car to get tires put on and an alignment then It started having issues. Before the issues that will be described where not present. When I try and start the car up it will crank a few times and not turn on or it will crank and turn on but idle very low and cut off and die unless I give the engine some gas and then it stays running but idles low. If requested I could take a video of the issue and get a link to it. This issue just started and I am concerned.

You will likely have to perform a few more tests that will require some tools and equipment after that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Sounds like they disconnected the battery? That or in hoisting it something touched that shouldn't have been IDK but same as Hammer go get codes read see when it was reset last a 2010 should know with a good scanner. Seems like this car is relearning how to cover idle and 1,000 other engine adjustments that change over time, miles but stay in range. That or just wild bad luck by chance it had a problem lurking and hoisting it alone ( even done right) just sped it up??

I scanned it with the advanced auto free fix finder and got code P0031 back looks like it's an o2 sensor. And I also was made aware that the catalytic converter has an exhaust leak.

That doesn't mean the sensor is bad. The 0/2 is a reporting sensor. It just mean the sensor is reporting a specific condition. This is reporting low voltage which usually indicates a lean mixture. It can be a bad sensor but usually isn't. I would look for an intake snorkel air leak or vacuum leak. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
