Thank you for sharing!

I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks!

Thanks!

Gracias!

I used GDS2 which is the factory diagnostic software. There are many other aftermarket tools that are capable of doing it. They can range from cheap to thousands of dollars. Here’s one that I’ve tried out and it was less than $150 when they sent it to me.

Twist and pull hard. They can get stuck pretty badly. Also check for a hidden bolt underneath that will hold the duct tightly. Thanks for commenting.

Check the black plastic duct that goes on top of the engine for popping loose. There is a clip that if it is installed upside down the duct can come loose. Thanks.

It probably went into limp mode

Sorry to hear you've had that bad experience. I have seen internal engine problems cause the P1101 if no other air leaks or MAF sensor fault is present. PCV orifice being clogged is common as well as the PCV diaphragm being ruptured, I have another video featuring a ruptured diaphragm making a squealing noise. Other than that, I've seen broken piston ring lands and stuck piston rings cause P1101 and in extreme cases carbon build up on the valves too. Thanks for commenting.

Should’ve checked and/or cleaned/replaced your throttle body. When one component fails, it tends to trick the ecu into thinking more parts are failing.

Wow you wasted a lotta money. My car did that and all I needed was an oil filter change

Should've just gotten an malibu with a regular transmission. That year you have has the cvt like the Nissan Altima and they always go out.

Thank you!

I have not made such a video… Yet. P0096 Indicate that IAT 1 and IAT 2 disagree with each other after an 8 hour cold soak. I’d suspect the wiring has been tampered with at the MAF sensor or the MAP sensor. Thanks.

@DadsGarageDiagnosticSpecialist Would the wiring being tampered with cause the car to lose power? Reduced engine speed.

@gushardy4421 sounds like you have something strange going on.

@DadsGarageDiagnosticSpecialist An open or short in the Intake air temp sensor will generally result in output voltage extremities and create an over rich or over lean condition that may result in power loss and possible fault code logged. Surprisingly this is what I found on Google. Everyone on KZfaq said get the code. This is the code P0096.

@gushardy4421 it needs to be diagnosed. If it was open or shorted, you would have a high or low circuit code instead of a performance code. Most likely it’s going to be a wiring problem.

Check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsdimMJ53JjFlXU.htmlsi=OXJkwPpkLvACY4Wn If you have a code reader or scan tool, check your fuel trims. What are they doing at idle? Thanks.

@@DadsGarageDiagnosticSpecialist at idle short term trim bounces between -3% & 3. Long term trim is sitting between 19-20.

@brannontejeda3854 so the long-term trim is indicating that it is adding fuel most likely because the oxygen sensor detected more air than the MAF sensor measurement for airflow said it should have. So the fuel trim is a correction off of the initial measurement. Your fuel trim is adding fuel so you need to be looking for air getting into the system after the mass airflow sensor somewhere. Being at idle when engine vacuum is high you should look for something close to the intake manifold or on the intake ducts somewhere, but check it all. If you can’t find anything loose or obviously leaking then you can use a small puff of something like brake cleaner and wet the ducts here and there…. Let it dry before you move on so you don’t accumulate a fire hazard. Do this while watching your short term trim…. If it suddenly goes way negative you’ve found your leak. If however, you never find a leak at all… Look at the air filter and the mass airflow sensor. If at that point I had still found nothing… I would do a volumetric, efficiency test, and test the engines ability to breathe… Then compare it to another known good car because the engine itself may be worn out or some other reason it is breathing more or less air than it is supposed to. This along with testing the crank case pressure. Next time I get a P1101 code caused by a faulty engine there will be a video.

@@DadsGarageDiagnosticSpecialist thank you very much!

Needs to be diagnosed. Check the oil and coolant level. Thanks.

Yes, that is definitely a concern. Thank you.

Thank you for commenting. That is a possibility yes. I have seen broken pistons, stuck rings, etc. cause a P1101 code also. Check out this short video. This engine had a P1101 diagnosed as leaky pistons, found severely stuck rings due to carbon. : GDI Direct injected engine extreme heavy carbon deposits - approx. 26,700mi kzfaq.infooY9LGEHAeQs?feature=share

They told me it was a clogged pcv valve I changed that and Maf sensor light still on

I believe a clogged PCV valve can also cause this code

Might have a possible faulty piston or piston ring. Test compression. Thanks.

@@DadsGarageDiagnosticSpecialist we just did that my friend is small engines mech . Called about 10 mins. Ago he said all reading were fine didn't say what the readings were. I'm thinking maybe 02 sensor ?

@@DadsGarageDiagnosticSpecialist runs great on the road. It's a 2016 Malibu LS 1.5 turbo

O2 sensor won’t cause a P1101 code. P1101 is caused by the MAF reading more or less than it theoretically should due to an air leak, a faulty sensor, or some engine mechanical problem that causes it to breathe differently. I’ve repaired P1101 with pistons a few times… compression test was good too. The rings were stuck due to carbon at about 27,000mi.

@@DadsGarageDiagnosticSpecialist oh damn. Ok I've got 82 k on mine so what next ? Anything else before a teardown ?

Sounds like it may have needed an engine replacement. Thanks for sharing.

You did good you made it to 100k miles
