Default fuel pressure part 2

Checked my fuel pressure, everything came up within specification range. So now I can rule out that there is something wrong with my feul system (pump, injectors, sensors etc.) Can I definitely conclude that it's a O2 sensors that's been throwing my codes.

As in replace them to see if thats what it was.

btw, good luck with that - Its not fun dealing with rich/lean issues due to sensors or evap ctrls.

If you give it gas and it bogs, then a vacuum leak could be the issue, or a leak after the MAF. Run a smoke test on the intake/vacuum system to make sure.
