Ok,

I know, I've sword God only knows how many times, that I was gonna sell =
my dak...I just had it running great for approx 2 weeks and now, I think =
my grandma's 70 something elcamino runs better...

About 2 weeks ago, I replaced the front o2 sensor, and I swear my truck =
ran infinately better... 2 weeks later (and the only non-standard thing =
I can think of that I did was octane booster) it runs like shit. I pay =
the 70 some odd dollars for a new o2 sensor, this time it doesnt do the =
trick.

Just today I noticed the damn thing, I would be sitting at a stop sign, =
and it ould be idling at like 500rpms or whatever and it would jump to =
1500 for like 10 seconds, and drop back down... which is a LITTLE weird =
for me.=20

My dakota is a 1997 dakota sport 4x4 regular cab, with a stick

My truck appears to be running lean, and I would like advice as far as =
things to check goes. Do I need to replace the second 02 sensor? I've =
had a few people tell me, that one really didnt matter.

Thanks ahead of time

Big Wes
