2007 Buick lucerne code p420 , .

You need to find a mechanic that is smart enough to use a scan tool that is able to view the live data stream and find the source of the issue. The P0420 code can be frustrating as it is usually something insignificant that sets it. Could be a vacuum leak, and exhaust leak, a bad wire to one of the O2 sensors. It takes time with a scan tool to nail down the cause.

2007 explorer 220,000, throws a p2196 code, blows heavy white smoke from exaust at first, after driving for a few minutes almost goes away. I replaced plugs, wires coil, downstream o2, and mass air.

This code refers to the upstream o2 sensor. The one between the engine and the catalytic converter. Use this link to test the o2 sensors, https://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/ford/4.0L/testing-the-oxygen-sensors-1.

I have five codes P2237 P2196 P2271 P0030 P0171 and a P2237 pending code on a 2005 elantra.The car runs poorly, bad gas mileage, sluggish with the check engine light on.Are all O2 sensors bad or maybe the...

P2237 P2196 P2271 P0030 P0171

These are all O2 sensor trouble codes, except P0171 which is a fuel trim code,

You have a bad 02 sensor - up stream - Bank 1 Sensor 1.

Replace it, then road test. The engine computer has a 'default' fuel trim it uses when an O2 sensor fails so it can protect the catalytic converter. If this hasn't been going on too long, good chance simply replacing the O2 sensor will remedy your problem.

2004 Ford Freestar 3.9 liter with 130,000 miles on it. After many failed attempts I simply cannot get this van to run right. Currently reading P2196 and P2198 O2 codes, even though I replaced them...

How about a fuel sample and new fuel filter? When the Service Engine light comes on this time, have you checked the final codes?

The throttle position sensor, TPS, could be bad with all the work done on the Butterfly flaps. No telling how many times its been removed and replaced. The black soot is a sign of unburned gas either through timing advance or too much fuel pressure for the situation. Thats the job of the TPS.

'97 A4 1.8T, coolant leak resulted in brief overheat,leak fixed,diag.code now shows #2 cyl.missing (badly), compression good,injectors good,coils/plugs good,missing badly,could the brief overheat have

did the car over heat for long?
there could possibly be damage to your head like warping due to overheating and blowing a head gasket or something along those lines .
first check the oil dipstick is it milky?
then check the coolant is it oily?
and when it is running is it blowing any white smoke?
if you replaced the plugs and it is misfiring did you plug the wire all the way back on the plugs if not then the problem is a plug wire being loose and loosing connection with the plug.
sounds like a simple fix if you don't have water in your oil or white smoke coming out the exhaust.
troubleshooting it can be a bigger job but if you nail the right symptoms down you can corner the problem.
like if it is a coil pack or bad wire switch them with another one and see if the problem follows the wire or coil pack.for instance take the number one plug wire off and the number two wire off and put the number one wire on number two and see if the number one misfires. if so then the wire is the problem if not then try numbers three and four until you find out which cylinder is the culprit.
good luck and happy hunting.
