Michael, I just did the same thing. Installed new O2 sensor, now engine
tries to stall when starting off unless I really put the pedal to the metal.
Seems to have a dead spot since installing the new sensor. Aggravating,
could get me run over at a stop sign or red light when trying to get away
with reasonable nimbleness. Not sure what to do at this point. Do know my
mileage was down and tailpipe black. Figured this would help out, but acts
very much like the old carbureted engines when the accelerator pump on the
carburetor wasn't working properly. Would try to stall out. The slug of air
going in leaned the mixture momentarily before the accelerator pump could
enrichen the mixture, so the engine would nearly stall. Same type of thing
is happening with my fuel injection now that I have a new O2 sensor. Engine
tries to stall on initial acceleration.

Comments would be appreciated.
