Thanks to all that responded to my previous post. I did a poor job of describing things and sent confusing info. Here is a better description: When cold, starts and runs fine. After two or three minutes of running (heating up) I have rough idle. When stepping on the gas to move the engine stumbles and slowly gains speed. It feels like a miss. After about 2000 rpm it seems to smooth out and runs fine. Runs fine at highway speed. If I disconnect the O2 sensor, problem goes away except for slightly rough idle, but has plenty of power to pull from a stop, etc. But (as expected) you can smell gas in the exhaust, running rich with the O2 sensor disconnected. Work done about 120 miles before the problem started: Rebuilt injectors installed and idle tweaked up a little. Work done by a very competent and experienced mechanic. Any suggestions? -- Loren Busch "I ordered a feast in the hope that you would come." "I came in the hope there would be a feast." (From "Monument" by Lloyd Biggle Jr.)
