02 sensor was least likely over your problems. Likely a faulty injector, plug, wire, etc. Zero in on cylinder doing miss. Pull one plug wire and start car. If it runs worse you still don't have correct one. Keep going till there is no change when running.

Oxygen sensor only report the condition of the engine the rough running condition can range from a worn sparkplug wires to worn sparkplugs to valve problems to injector problems. with the cadillac deville a tune up should be the first attempt to smooth the rough idle with the inspection of the cap and rotor cap and rotor do have a tendancy to arc internally and create misfire so does sparkplug wire that can leak spark voltage to ground and create misfire. the spark plug wire especially if they are brittle and hard can create issues

I have a chrysler concorde limited 02 model. Check engine light is on and it just says it's running lean. You can smell it in the exhaust. We have ran two tanks of Lucus gas treatment through it with no...

check your Fuel injectors, you may have a injector stuck open. or a bad EGR valve / o2 sensor this will make the smell of fuel in the exhaust as well. But if the car is running rough then look more at the injectors. start your car now unplug a injector and see if it changes the sound of the car motor if it starts to run rough then plug it back in if one you unplug don't change the motor while it is running then that will be the injector that is bad .

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/tom_db3a51ff0ca57f20

Jeep is burning gas really fast, what can be causing this?

You might want to check the wires that go to the 02 sensor it sounds like when the tune up was done the wires may of become dis-connected. Unless of course the tune up was done to correct the problem. In that case first check for gas leak under car and around gas tank, if OK then, next ( I take it there's no check engine light on) borrow a fuel pressure tester from Auto Zone and test the fuel pressure After you've hooked up the tester run the engine a few minutes then shut it off and watch the gauge it it slowly drops you more then likely have a leaking fuel injector.If in fact this is the case, before you replace the injector run the fuel down to 1/4 tank and add a good fuel injector cleaner to the gas and run until close to empty. Put fuel in tank and drive at least 50 miles to allow fuel system to clean out. If still the same then the injector is bad. Note; You could also have a bad 02 sensor but that should set the check engine light.

91formula 5.7 tuned port runs rough after running for 10 minutes or so

Well it is a 91 so its 21 yrs old and like us all when we get old liable to give problems ,remove the sender unit in the tank and check the fuel gauze filter on the bottom ,if this is not the cause then check the fuel line pressure on the injector bar ,on this is a tyre vale looking thing connect a gauge up to this when it doesnt run and check the pressure should be 55lbs

Dodge stratus misfire, runs rough has random misfires in cylinder 1,3,and 5 and a vacuum leak, I,m not too worried about the leak unless it is related to the misfire

I WOULD REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR.MARK LOCATION OF ROTOR OR MAKE NOTE SO YOU CAN INSTALL NEW ROTOR IN CORRECT FIRING POSITION. IF THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF MILES I WOULD REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR.SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.REPLACE IGNITION COIL.CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS, FILL GAS TANK UP TO 3/4 TO FULL TANK OF GAS POUR CAN SEAFOAM IN FUEL TANK IT WILL FLUSH OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING OR DRIVING CAR. REPLACE FUEL FILTER. REASON I SAY DO A TUNE UP PROBLEM COULD BE MINOR FIX.COULD NEED TUNE UP.IF TUNE UP DONT HELP THEN YOUR PROBLEM IS DISTRIBUTOR OR THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR INSIDE OF DISTRIBUTOR.THAT WOULD SET OFF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.BUT I WOULD SAY TUNE UP COULD FIX PROBLEM.
