if it still runs like crap, we need to look for a different cause. Bad cat would give different symptoms. (no power from x rpm and up, etc.)
I got under to check and found that the factory plug was gone. The wires were spliced together via but splice. Well the black wire had come out of the splice so I remade up another splice hoping that was it. It wasn't. Waiting for it to cool back off so I can cut all the wires and see if it makes any difference. I will keep let you know what happens next.
I drive it around the block. I would have driven it further but was worried about damaging vehicle. Should I unhook battery for a couple minutes to reset PCM?
Well the O2 is unplugged and I still have the same problem. I drove it a mile up the road and back and when I got up to about 45 it seemed like the truck was going to vibrate apart. Still have the rough idle as well.
Usually, a heavy vibration at that speed indicates an engine miss, if disabling O/D makes it feel better, then that is definitely what it is...... If not, need to inspect everything in the front end, from the tires, to the steering wheel.
I will look at them tomorrow as well. The CEL did come on after I started this morning. So your saying don't change the sensor? Sorry I'm getting confused.
