My car has been running like crap for a long time now and I haven't had a clue why. Recently, I got a chance to get the Autotap on my car to check everything on it.

Turns out my front O2 sensors are bad and causing half the car to run lean and the other rich?? I never replaced these because there were no codes. I did replace my rear sensors but these only monitor your cats and don't effect fuel changes.. like the fronts do.

I'm hoping to restore my lost power with these sensors.. I have to buy an Autotap. Watching every computer operation (while the car is running)on a laptop and clearing the codes was invaluable. Definitely worth the money..
