Symptom: Lopes at idle when engine is warm, runs really rich. In the AM, it starts fine, and takes about 2-5 mintues to develop symptoms (at that point, engine light comes on and off - yes, the problem is slightly intermittent). During the day, however, it takes some foot on the gas to start this beast and the problem starts almost immediately (likely due to it being warmer).
Fixes to date: Had engine codes for bad EGR Sensor and EGO (which only kicks in when warm) - replaced both. Engine codes fixed, problem still exists.
Present Engine Codes: Tested last night - getting 42 and 65.
I'm not sure if there is a bad wire causing the EGO (O2 sensor on exhaust) to not read anything (might be the case IF the EGO High state is Open) or if there is a problem elsewhere (idle sensor, etc.).
Otherwise, the engine is in decent shape. Leaks some oil and TF, but that is about all. The loping has gotten so bad that it occasionally stalls.
Any help would be appreciated (before I tear this whole thing apart).
