I suggested the Denso O2 sensor because I have heard some having problems with the recent Delcos...but, you can try one instead of the Denso brand if you want

OHHH
i thought (first mistake) you meant Denso Fuel pump.
do you know the Denso part number??

Advance has this listed
Quote
"Denso Oxygen Sensor Universal
Part No. 234-1000 $14.39"

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Nos4GN is the same price as sparkplugs. $14.xx   Rockauto looks cheaper $11.xx
Dunno how shipping works for all of them.

Advance does NOT list the 234-1001 number on the web site at all. :013:
i'll try at the store maybe the counter guys can look it up for me.
Or like Ed suggested earlier i can try Colvins they usually can get special order stuff the same day if its at the local warehouse.

Yeah you have to sort out that BLM issue before sorting out anything else.

And Steve is right about baselining your car before trying to run it at full blast.

Dry carbon is as bad as oil fouled. It can create conductive carbon tracks, creating shorts.
