Subject:bucking/stumbling, etc. - 91 2.1 WBX Automatic

Many thanks to all that responded to my bucking/stumbling issue last week.

I just returned from warm sunny south west Florida to cold gray south east
Pennsylvania without incident.  In fact the car could not have ran better.
All I did was wash the engine compartment down to remove the film of salt,
calcium and whatever chemicals the various State Transportation Departments
choose to use.  Cleaned the O2 sensor connections and packed them with
antioxidant grease with the mindset that the salt combination was allowing
weak voltage leakage and sending funky signals to the ECU.  Whether it is
coincidence or not, I don't know, but the car ran great.

Thanks again to all that responded.
