    I know it'll throw my long term O2's off but i didn't think it could cause idle issues.

    I'll find out saturday.

    Car now will stall out after the primary O2's sit around 900 mV for a little bit. Opening the throttle obviously brings it back but this is intermittent, not a constant issue.

    The O2's will be find one minute and running rich the next.

    Hope someone helps you out cuz Im having the exact same idle problem and it is intermittent as well. Also when I turn sometimes the car bogs down like its starving for gas or air or down shifting I dunno. Hopefully somebody can help it would be very appreciated.

    Yup first thing I did. It was fine but I changed it anyways and topped it back up. So I have run out of ideas. I am wondering if one of my hubs is gone or going bad abs and tcs light is on and off when its damp out or after rain. Im thinking it could be kicking the tcs on and off which is my last hope then back to the drawing board.
