Hi Arlen, The o2 sensor is bad, very high probability. Possibility of a loose / wet connection on the temperature 2 sensor. To prove try running in open loop( O2 wire pulled) or just replace the o2. Ron (bus depot) has generic bosch 3 wire sensors at a good price if you can do a bit of soldering. Good luck with your quest. Darrell Boehler Makanda Illinois
