Stumbling/Idling Funky, Wideband Reading Super Rich
Stumbling/Idling Funky, Wideband Reading Super Rich
Hey guys so I have this issue out of nowhere where my car is driving terribly when I’m around 20-25% throttle (very light gas when just trying to mainatain speed and distance beteeen the car in front of you). It occurred in tandem with a P0031 (Heated O2 Sensor Hester Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1) and sounds and almost like misfiring or something. Wideband reads really rich when it does it (11.5ish), when normally at these throttle positions I’d be running pretty lean (almost oscillating AFR from bigger, low Z injectors I assume).
I bought a new O2 sensor but I wanted to get more info before I dive into the job... are these normal symptoms for s bad 02? Just happened out of nowhere and I was just messing with the exhaust. The front O2 wasn’t even touched! Just the rear and Wideband.
any insight would be appreciated!

I am SOOO happy guys, it was the O2 sensor! Problem completely fixed.
All I needed was a 22mm wrench (I used an adjustable) and to take the heat shield off. Super easy. I have an 8/9 btw and stock mani, for anyone wondering if you can get in there without removing stuff.
