i have a 98 that runs fine when in open loop mode but as soon as the code scanner shows activity with the 02 sensor it runs REAL bad.
i just replaced the upstream sensor about 4 months and maybe 6k miles ago.
when the car is started the spark advance on live data keeps going between 8 and 12 degrees and when it starts running real bad it goes between 8 and 20 degrees very quickly.
while running bad i can go and tap the distributor with a hammer and will usually resolve the poor running, but sometimes it will continue to run rough until it is done with whatever it does.
if it goes into closed loop mode while driving it bogs down really bad and feels really gutless.
is the new o2 sensor bad already or is the distributor gone south? or any other suggestions?
thanks!!
