Re: Oh No, What Did I Do?
Took it for a drive when i got home. It idled poorly, but I was able to get it in drive without it conking out. It drove fine; the problem was when I had to come to a stop, it would surge erratically between 500 and 750 rpm, and came close to turning off. After a few minutes the check engine light came on, which actually, was a relief. I figured now maybe I could figure out what the problem it. I checked the codes and got a 32 and 37 which are the RH and LH side O2 sensors, which I had recently changed. Fortunately, I kept the old ones (I changed them hoping it might help the car idle better. This is what you call irony).
Anyway, I'm a little relieved. I was concerned that I had done some irreparable harm to the engine, but the fact that it drove fine made me feel alot better. I'm hoping that maybe some overzealous throttle body cleaning fouled up the O2 sensors. I'll replace them this weekend and see if that fixes the problem.
