I've been getting a code26 from my car. That's the rich air/fuel mixture code. I know, the 5sfe runs rich anyway, but not enough to throw a code. I know my EGR is needed cleaned. I also know that I welded close to my O2 sensor not too long ago. To stop the CEL, I unplug the O2 sensor and reset the ECU. This works, but I know it's not right. I was thinking it was either the O2 or the EGR, but when I look in the Haynes manual, it's saying: injector circuit, injector, air flow meter, cold start injector, or ECM. Anyone have any advice for me?

you may have damaged the sensor, try swapping in a new one.

I'm going clean the EGR and replace the O2. btw, my gas milage has went from around 30mpg to low 20's. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't do anything. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
