Post

I have a 2002 Nissan Frontier 2wd, 3.3 non-sc that originally had two codes a p0132 and p0154 (both for oxygen sensors, post replacement of all 4 sensors) I found online about a TSB referring to adding a ground strap to the intake manifold and the cyl head, performed this fix. Now i have 3 new codes P1148, P0171, and P0174 that have come up since that repair.... PLEASE HELP!!!

First things first...if you made a change, and now notice problems, undo your change and see if it goes away.

-Aside from the simple sanity check above, check your inlet air tube for leaks past the maf...usually leads to lean conditions (two of your codes indicate lean on both banks).
-Badly cracked manifolds (common pre-2003) could also cause lean errors. Also check that there are no leaks around the o2 sensor bungs, and that the egr tube is not leaky.
-Since you are also showing a circuit malfunction on bank1 (passenger side) i would look at the ecm ground (top of intake manifold) to make sure it had a good connection. I've also had brand new o2 sensors that were not even crimped/connected at the plug connector (denso...never buying again). So in addition to checking that the plugs are pushed in tight, also make sure thins inside are connected to the wires.
