PO 2096 code

[folson]

New to the forum. I have a 2008 Chevy Aveo LS and cannot clear a PO2096. I've changed the O2,plugs tried Fuel injector cleaner and seaform. Next step was to clean the sensor in the air box. Any help?

How many miles on your Aveo, and did the old plugs look good/normal? How long since you hung on the new parts? I know of one other (different) lean code that took a bit of time to "unlearn" its way out of the computer. Different vehicle, but the concept is the same. Maybe try to disconnect the battery a couple times and give it chance to reprogram with additional starts?

Thanks I"reset it at least 5 times with the OBII reader. The plugs actually looked pretty good but had 25000 on them so went ahead and changed them. I also tried cleaning the sensor in the air intake hose off the air cleaner with alcohol. Was going to try brake cleaner next . Right now the code is out. I'll try the battery and spray if it comes back. Please any suggestions are welcome. Thanks again

Still have the code. I ordered a new intake hose with the sensor and valve. This is the hose off the air canister. I'll also try resetting with a battery disconnect. Any other suggestions ? Thanks

Do you hear an exhaust leak?

I did . The resonator was broke off/weld was off the flange. I replaced it with a straight pipe. I have not have the code come back yet. So after replacing the O2, pipe, intakr hose, plugs and resetting with the battery disconnect I think I may have licked it. I was using the OBII reader for resets so at this point I think doing a reset with the battery may have done it or the Intake Hose. Thanks alot for your help

is the resonator the flex pipe? I had a repair performed by Midas to the flex pipe and since then I had the P2096 code coming up.

see my topic for history.
