Thank you Tegger.

Would the P1298 cause any performance problems? Would this faulty ELD
fail to detect any real electrical problems?

Can I check the 02 sensor myself? Where is it? I don't have the
equipment to test the voltage but can check to make sure the airflow
is not fouled or the wires/connection are not compromised? If I take
it out what should I be looking for, build up on the tip?

Could this be a fuel filter problem? I'll tell ya I've heard it all
from different boards I've posted on.
