I broke 2 -02 sensors on my 88LX 5.0L and just replaced them today. Before I broke them changing out the PS rack the car ran awesome. After replacing them it still runs like crap. Is there a way to clear the computer codes?

Cheers

Just unhook the battery for 30 minutes or so and hook it back up, this will clear the codes and then you can check to see if there are any new ones

How did you break 02 sensors when replacing tha rack? I just replaced mine sunday and got nowhere near the 02 sensors. Anyways try looking around if you managed to snag the 02 sensors it possible you snagged a vacuum line too. Seems unlikely but you never know......try checking the codes too.
