Oxygen Sensor Burn Out
While driving the other day , My 89 sse suddenly started jumping, feeling like the transmission was going , when i stopped at a light the car stalled and was not idling steady at all around 300-400 rpm ..i thought it was a vacuum hose that disconnected, but it wasnt that. the check engine light comes on now and then while i drive at 1 min intervals..I was told this was the oxygen sensor..Has anyone had the same problem with there car??

I know you don't have a new IAC yet, but has yours been fiddled with lately? Cleaned? Adjusted? If so then you may have to re-adjust it back to normal. Also, if you haven't cleaned your TB lately, it may be gummed up with carbon & the pintle on the IAC is stuck. An O2 sensor will only cause you to either burn less/more gasoline when it burns out.

Make sure you remove the MAF and set it in a safe place, and use Throttle Body and Intake(sensor safe/plate coating safe)cleaner... That and an old toothbrush work well for me..
Next time I guess I'll remove it..Thanks
