First check to see if they are connected properly, that could be an easy fix. do a search for "sensor" or "mileage" I know there have been quite a few topics about this... -------------------- |

yup dustin, definetly sounds like a 02 sensor to me...also make sure your wires car and rotor are in good working order, and that your air and fuel filter are clean.

also i remember running some fuel injector cleaner and seeing a small dif. but how bad it is for you sounds more like O2 sensor(s) are about to go capoot.
