    Hi,

    I read the codes, 0115, 0171 and 0300.
    Replaced the temperature detector and still have the engine light on.
    Should I replaced the oxygen sensor?
    I was told to replaced the air captor? but it is quite expensive.
    Ther engine is weaker than usual and takes more fuel too.

    Thanks

    Don

    P0300 is a misfire code. Is your car misfiring?

    P0171 is a lean condition. If you have a scan tool which will give you
    data, it will be very helpful. A misfire due to an injector not firing
    could be causing this code. If you have a V6, you can use the scan tool
    to compare fuel trims one one bank with the other. If the fuel trim
    values are out of whack similarly on both banks, you're probably looking
    at an air flow sensor issue. The oxygen sensor is still a possibility,
    but there needs to be some investigation to determine the actual cause.

    P0115 relates to the coolant temp sensor. While the sensor is the culprit
    in most cases, this code can also be caused by a faulty thermostat (stuck
    closed or open) or any other issue that would make the car overheat.
