    @kingcollazo0307 p0140 is no activity detected on Oxygen sensor.
    P0141 is Heater for Oxygen sensor is not working. Bad oxygen sensor with both codes showing or its disconnected. Its on Bank 1 which is where cylinder number 1 exhaust manifold is at its the Oxygen sensor before Converter.

    P0304 is cylinder number 4 misfire. Bad spark plug or wire. If you had P0301 too the ignition module or coil is bad which is what 1 and 4 fire at the same time.

    thanks so much, tons of rust on plug wire 5, caused my misfireing, and also to answer edyman87’s question, what i had to do was remove the alternator and reach back behind the motor.

    hey, i also have a 3. 1 v6 in my 96 beretta, its kind of a pain to get to the, its easiest way to get to them is to take your alternator off, and all so if you have cruise control, the little box for the cruise control, this way you can get you arm down to the plugs, expect to spend 2-4 hours on the back 3.

    My spark plug wires were bad and it was letting the moisture to get in the coil so now the coil is rusted. I bought new spark plug wires and I managed to replace the 3 on the front of the engine. But I cant get at the back of the engine to replace the other 3. If you have time can you please demonstrate on the video how to get access to the spark plugs which are located at the back of the engine? My engine is 3. 1 v6. Same engine shown in the video. 1995 grand am se coupe.
