-- [ From: John H. Rodgers * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Michael, I just did the same thing. Installed new O2 sensor, now engine tries to stall when starting off unless I really put the pedal to the metal. Seems to have a dead spot since installing the new sensor. Aggravating, could get me run over at a stop sign or red light when trying to get away with reasonable nimbleness. Not sure what to do at this point. Do know my mileage was down and tailpipe black. Figured this would help out, but acts very much like the old carbureted engines when the accelerator pump on the carburetor wasn't working properly. Would try to stall out. The slug of air going in leaned the mixture momentarily before the accelerator pump could enrichen the mixture, so the engine would nearly stall. Same type of thing is happening with my fuel injection now that I have a new O2 sensor. Engine tries to stall on initial acceleration. Comments would be appreciated.
