ugh... more problems with the max, Now misfiring when cold

Honestly the first 5 something years with this car was good, now the last 2 years I been having nothing but problems. I think she is just getting tired. I've had mostly rust and front end issues throughout its life, now its just more front end, (like everything in the front end, legit) and ovb the transmission input shaft bearing, but now the gas strap.

Now my rad is leaking, now this misfire, and I think I have another exhaust leak. I've probably spent close to $1000 dollars on self repairs on this car this year ALONE... I'm getting tired of it. Sure it has 240k something miles on it, but why all of this sudden? 5 years was all minor things now its something new every time. Really kinda shocked to be honest.



Makes no sense and these are my latest codes.

p0306 cly 6 misfire

same 1105 manifold absolute pressure/bar switch solenoid circuit. I could never figure out cause the voltage tested out fine.

heres a new one I never seen...

p0174 Bank 2 system too lean? (faulty o2 sensors perhaps?)

p0154 oxygen circuit no activity detected (bank 2 sensor 1)

If you have a minor exhaust leak, don't replace the pipe. Go to home despot out Lowes . For $12 or so, you can get half a gallon of furnace cement. Wear gloves, it's harsh on bare skin. Scoop up a blob of it top cover the hole. Let it sit for a hour, then drive until car is warm, it'll be quieter too.

Replace all the 02 sensors if you can afford it. Whens the last time you did spark plugs etc.

Don't rule out a bad spark plug. Inspect. I had 1 NGK copper go out on me after just 3,000 miles.

Made the car run like poopy.

I'll give you the same advice I gave Crusher.

Kill it with fire.
