Big time-How did you know the snitchers are bad.

You didn't mentioned anything about OBD2 code/s

Do you have a build-in scan tool on the dash-if so this is new to me in auto tech.

Get it scanned for code/s and comeback with it.

The codes you have are not HO2 heater circuits.

You need to change it and make sure its an OEM parts. also run an inector cleaner thru the system.

Won't hurt to check fuel pressure-
