    Wrong O2 Sensor?

    that does make sense. I had a moped that ran like chit when the air cleaner cover fell off. it was designed to run with certain amount of air going in and out. if you change either value it dont like it. so its prob along the same lines with this ford. its intended to run with more back...

    Space heater? In a truck?
