Hello, I have a 1971 Chevy c10 pickup that I put a 5.3 in I used a psi-conversion harness with it and I have been driving it for a few months without issue, a few days ago I hit a pretty good pothole and since then it runs really bad and its not getting and signal from either 02 sensor I put new sensors on both sides yesterday and still hasn't corrected the issue and they are both reading at .45 volts on my scan tool? The codes I'm getting are p0134( 02 sensor circuit no activity defected bank 1 sensor 1) and p0154 (02 sensor circuit no activity detected bank 2 sensor 1).

What year 5.3L? .450 MV is "Threshold" Voltage, Thats what will read all the time if there is a open circuit in the Ground or Signal circuits, Both O2's having this issue would lead me to a Ground issue, A lot of the early LS engines have a Case Ground for the O2's, Later ones use the Low Reference bus it the PCM.

Im going to move this to the Ls section for you. I would personally be tracing wires especially any wires that are common to both sensors. Make sure all the harness connections are tight and double check grounds.

check all your fuses and also any wiring plugs that might have came loose.

Gotta be a ground. Did you clear the codes and see if they came back?

Zhedding · 10-20-2015, 02:19 PM

2004 and yes I've reset codes and getting same code I'm going to check the ground again tonight but with the psi harness there is only one ground.

And what's weird is I'm only getting the rich white smoke on the passenger side.

BR3W CITY · 10-20-2015, 04:51 PM

White or gray?

White= coolant

Grey=fuel

Blue/black= oil

Pink&sparkels= you blew the flux capacitor. Common result of using those ebay sub-jigawatt power supplies.

Grey its rich, gas is dripping from pipe
