OMG. I tried attatching a picture of the O2 sensor but the site is asking me for a URL of the picture. Strange. It looks like somebody held the sensor in front of an oxy/acetaline torch for about ten minutes. The driver side sensor is a twisted, mangled mess of metal. It's almost unidentifiable. I'm sure both sides look the same. Off to the parts store. Thanks everyone.

I pulled the O2 sensors and they looked like they had been melted down with a torch. They were completely annihilated and unrecognizable. I replaced the O2 sensors and the car still runs like complete crap. I unplugged the battery, plugged back in, downloaded the tune again, cleared the last remaining DTC which was P1000, and took it for a drive. It barely runs and P1000 came back. I would love to know which device or manual you guys are using for diagnostics. Is it the Diablo the gentleman mentioned above? Any advice would be appreciated. Im all ears.

Question: do you still have a bunch of the octane booster in the tank? You should check your plugs as well; they may be screwed up.

A new set of plugs and O2 sensors to replace the lumps of melted precious metal that the old ones turned in to, and it runs like a scalded dog. Thanks for all the help. You guys rock.

No problem. Glad you were able to get it back together.
