Message I've had an issue with my passenger o2 sensor for a while now and can't seem to figure out why. Getting hesitation/stumbling at light throttle. it could be hesitating one second but as soon as you give it more gas it clears up. Also as long as I leave the passenger o2 sensor unplugged, the car runs fine!

The first thing I did was clean the connector but nothing changed. I bought a new bosch o2 sensor but that didnt change anything either. Certain it was the connector I cleaned it more more thoroughly. This time the problem went away for about 5 days but came back.

I noticed injector #5 was failing because sometimes the cylinder would only fire some days and eventually not at all. injector ohmed out to 60+ I just got done replacing that injector and now it's running much smoother but the problem still remains.

Fuel pressure is normal
No vacuum leaks
compression is good (~160psi)
getting spark


any help is appreciated!
