There’s no cabin air filter on the car, I checked the blower motor and it’s clean there’s no leaves, or derbies in that area. Any other ideas on what to check?

It actually blew over the weekend so that’s then end of that. Working on putting a new engine in now

From the video I posted on the previous page regarding a new engine knock I’ve been told it could be plugged oil passages and not allowing oil to get to the lifters causing the knock. Also was thinking an oil pump. Whats the easiest way to go about trying to correct this? Seafoam? Marvel Mystry oil? Any help would be appreciated. I’d like to fix this befgore I go the route of putting in another engine or getting rid of the car

And now this started last night….. Any ideas? Should I just throw in the towel and get rid of the car or what?

Ok so maybe this bit of information will help diagnose these issues a bit. I talked to the person I bought the car from and they said none of these problems were ever present. My friend had put the engine back together after replacing the intake manifold gaskets since I was not around to do it. So basically all these problems arised, the car running like crap, and the poor fuel milage all started after the intake manifold gaskets were replaced. There was also no cel prior the the LIM gaskets being replaced. Maybe it’s coincidence, maybe it’s something related. But I figured that bit of info may help.

Is it possible I killed that o2 sensor when I was having problems with the plugs and in injector o-rings before I replaced them. Also I’ve noticed this as of late when I’m driving and put the vehicle in park or stop at a light the lights dim and the RPM’S drop and them come back up to around 2500 RPM’s before falling back down to normal. I’m thinking an alternator or battery related issue possibly with that problem? When I came home from work last night I pulled into the drive way put it into park and it did the above mentioned then just stalled out. Back to the o2 sensor, It’s for bank 1 Sensor 2 that’s downstream after the converter correct? Would that affect fuel mileage? Finally from the data I posted earlier was there any signs of the o2 sensor before the cat being flaky?

I actually had captured a screen shot with my friends scanner after replacing the plugs. Here’s what I got: (these values are at idle)
HO2 snsr -1 (mv) 993 (my camera had a hard time getting the proper value because it was fluctuating) ill check again and report back
HO2 snsr -2 (mv) 422
O2 S1 ready – yes
O2 cross counts – 0
Open/Closed loop – Open
Hot Open loop – NoST Trim (%) 0
LT Trim (%) 13MAF (Gm/sec) 4.32
Remember these values are at idle. Like I said I’ll repost back with the 1500 and 2500 values and any more information that’s needed

I finally got the plugs replaced and I’ve noticed a big difference but I’m still having some problems. First off is fuel milage is horrible. I’m getting about 200 miles if that on a full tank of gas. Usually averages around 180 miles on a full tank. Secondly when driving with either cruise on or holding steady on the accelerator the rpms sometimes jump around. The best way to describe it is its like someone is quickly hitting the gas and letting off. Also I have yet to replace the o2 sensor that’s throwing a p0141 code, o2 heater circuit bank 1 sensor 2. Is it possible that o2 sensor could be a factor in fuel milage? I was also thinking maybe the other o2 sensor could be lazy and just not throwing a code yet is this possible? If I were to analyze live engine data is there anything particular I should be looking at as far as voltages or whatever on the first o2 sensor (before the cat) to see if its ok?
