Re: rich o2 sensor code

Bad O2 sensor, stuck injector, excessive fuel pressure, crapped out (or crapping) maf...

Re: rich o2 sensor code

Unplugging the maf won't tell you anything. It reverts to 'limp home' mode which makes it run extra rich. Use a mechanic's stethiscope to listen to the injectors.
