Oxygen Sensor
my 2.8 threw a code 45 (or whatever a rich oxygen sensor is), so i was wondering if i could just disconnect the oxygen sensor to get a better air/fuel ratio, or do i have to get a new one?

Make sure to check your current setup first... my oxy sensor wire wasn't anchored down to the car very well; the connector melted against my exhaust. THat shorted out the oxy sensor circuit- it doesn't damage the computer, but it essentially puts the oxy sensor reading at "zero".
The Bosch part # is #12014.. and it happens to be the same one that the V8 guys use.
