Hi Matt, Thanks for the comment. I just replaced the O2 Sensor with one from VolksCafe. I bought the lesser expensive one which required that I splice my old harness to the new sensor. I used crimp connectors and used electrical tape to insulate each wire. Is it possible that this is my problem? Thanks for the suggestion. I'll investigate.
