-----drum roll... my brain says cam position sensor first. crank position if that doesn't fix it.
i have the cam sensor laying around from my 318, ill throw that in tomorrow when i get home from work... im hoping it works.. thing is, it runs the ***** at full throttle! but part throttle, forget it.

Did you fix the o2 sensor(s) yet? And disconnect battery to reset computer, not the scanner.

Need to fix it. And IIRC, when you reset the fuel sync, the motor should be at 1500rpm.

You need an o2 with an 18" wire if the post cat sensor is in or close to the oem location. Standard and NTK have them.

You have part numbers? Im pretty sure it needed to be lengthened 18" from the 12" wire

4 pin round connector, 24" extension cable from Jegs is what I got for the rear O2, with my new Cat position because of the LT headers I'm going to use.

The front O2 I got the sensor with the longer 18" pigtail in stead of standard 12", and used a
11" extension cable. 11" extension cable.

OBX also have an
21" extension cable 21" extension cable
