I told ya so!

*edit* make sure you reset the computer.

when you restart the car... dont touch the gas pedal... just let it idle till it reaches operating temps. then shut it off and let it fully cool down.

you need to let the car relearn certain things, and pressing the gas after resetting the ECM can adversly affect the cars relearn process

Hell yeah, that'll cause big issues, that sensor play a good part in determining your A/F ratio. Replace that bitch. Did you have to remove your upper manifold to get to it? That the only way I can think of to get to mine.

I would have to look at where exactly it is.. but more than likely oil entering your intake from the breather

Yours looks just like mine did a couple weeks ago. I just cleaned mine and stuck it back in though.

That's what I was going to say, that and a mix of carbon deposits.

What kind of problems were you having before you and/or adder figured it out.
