O2 sensors very low readings Sign In

2002 Mazda MPV ES, 3L, 95K

Engine idles rough, but no significant loss of power during driving (though there is some hesitation accelerating).

All 4 HO2 sensors read very low voltages, never more than 0.2V and pretty steady (no oscillation). There are two banks (one for each side of the V6 motor), one upstream of cat and the other one downstream.
There is noticeable exhaust odor near the front of the car, one mechanic sugested that the front exhaust manifold leaks another pointed at two flexible pipes (under the car). Before i put a couple of thousands in exhaust parts i am trying to understand how is it that these readings can be so low on both banks.

Thanks for your feedback.

I originally had P0134, P0131 and P0151.
I noticed on page 01-02A-68 of the workshop manual that P0131 and P0151 ought to be ignored until P0134 is fixed. Because i disconected the battery as part of other troubleshooting steps all these codes got erased and i haven't seen them back yet.

thanks for looking

Those are all lean codes which agrees with your findings. The first thing I would look for are vacuum leaks or air leaks in the intake snorkel.
