With the little I know about his setup, I can guarantee it was if the PCM had the stock tune.

Yes the check engine light was definitely on. I emailed him back and going to go from there. There's a dead line that I need to get the car tuned and ready to race, there's a shootout I'm entered in on the 17th hence the urginancy. The car is going to be a grudge car so I do not want to post all the specs.

I'd replace both, keep the functioning one as a backup. A decent cam requires less fuel down low, might have fouled one and the other may not be far behind. I'm sure he changed the VE table accordingly to get the idle dialed in.
With enough overlap, the o2's may be useless anyway. The Dr would know. There are a few ways to get closed loop on large overlap cams, but might have to run an open loop idle. For what it's worth, my IROC reads over 18:1 AFR at idle
Much trickier with the antiquated '165 ECM.

If an o2 sensor was the only problem I'm sure it would be tuned already...Originally posted by nascarnate326 View PostMaybe I am taking it the wrong way but if someone like my self drove all that way, had a bad o2 sensor he wouldnt help me change real quick I would be pissed.
I got better help from Ricky in the Walgreens parking lot at the dream cruise.

this.. phil did numerous things to mine to see if he could fix it. prob totally a good 3-4 hours worth of stuff and never charged me for it. im sure there had to be more than just that that was wrong.

Lol he told me to get new 02's and fix the exhaust leak and bring it back. So wouldn't he of told me to fix more things if there was issues? We did have to take the plugs out and sandblast them because they were fouled. He also *****ed how it was a 98 PCM and they're a pain in the ass. He wanted to do a close loop but couldn't because of the 02's and also couldn't tell what the fuel/air was without them so he didn't know if they fuel table was way off or what.Last edited by SloGrn; May 1st, 2014, 04:49 PM.

So its got no MAF, no IAT sensor, the o2's don't work and the plugs were fouled.....Originally posted by SloGrn View PostLol he told me to get new 02's and fix the exhaust leak and bring it back.
