Hey i was just wondering if anyone has had troube with O2 sensors going bad... my car was running horrible all rich and smokin so i checked my timing and changed the o2 sensors and it ran great for about 2 days... then it starting runing bad again... just wonding if anyone had any ideas..thanks brian
 
Did you pull any plug to look for fouling? If you just replaced the 02 sensors, they can't be messed up like you explain after 2 days. I think you have something else causing a rich fault. Check the vacuum line on the top of the fuel pressure regulator, see if it has fuel. If it does, the FPR may need to be replaced. I would try looking at that first and see if that can fix it. That's my guess.

dont forget the ECT and ACT sensors....they can be out of calibration.....motor thinks it is cold at all times (rich), etc.
it wont necessarily toss a code, as it can be within spec, but incorrect for the situation.

good luck.
