If that engine has been running way to rich for some reason then the OXY sensor could have been toasted by that. Installing a new OXY sensor is the only solution to this dilemma. Where is the OXY sensor placed in that un-original set-up you have ? The best placement by far is in the CAT as was original in the real 2.1 set up.
