i drive the car out of the dealership, CEL comes up. Car downshift rough

I take car back in, they replace o2 sensor

i pick up the car next day, i drive it out, CEL comes up back up i drive it back in

replace crankshaft sensor with this code listed on warranty receipt : P219A

I drive car home, no CEL(last week)

today I drive it(I let it sit in parking for couple of days as im not wasting my time and risking CEL while driving to work or events)

Right now CEL comes back on AFTER 15~miles of driving(rough downshift which feels like the same when previous CEL was on)

Tomorrow is sunday, website says they are open. I will drive in.

I need my car by 2nd week of September as I will be moving to a nearby state. I need a reliable car and not a car that keeps getting CEL.


Any advice? I wish I never brought the car in for the tapping noise(they said it was too much silicon build up and the oil was picking it up @ idle).

Car was running 12+ hours a day perfectly except for tap noise @ idle and now I can barely have it run for half an hour.



pls help (

That does not make sense P219A is air fuel ration imbalance ie a fuelling problem, no idea why they would replace crank sensor.


If they have already replaced Front 02 sensor then next one you would go for would be MAF sensor.


that code can be caused by dirty or faulty MAF sensor (oiled air filters often the culprit)


Or stuffed front 02 sensor or exhaust or intake leaks.
