      you might have just washed the secondary o2 with fuel then. if you were dumping that much fuel. the primary would have been hot enough to burn it off.

      the cat is easy to check, 3 bolt top, 3 bolts bottom and it comes right out. youll know imediately if the cat is bad by looking inside of it

      The problem with taking the cat off is it is cold. Today the high was 25 and for the rest of the week between 4 and 9 degrees. I have the o2 sensor ordered and it will be here this week.

      Having the same issue, what was the result of your snap-on scan Jimig1?

      I found a really cheap price for the OEM sensor here!

      List for $86
      Sale for $30.28

      its always about reading the codes and interpreting that information. not throwing parts at the problem.

      I replaced the rear o2 sensor, and the plugs. I think wires are next cause it sometimes still missed a little under heavy load. I did learn a neat trick to reset the codes, disconnect the red battery cable from the battery and short it out to ground for a few seconds, works like a charm.
