My car's idle would dip when I had a bad O2 sensor. How long have you had this problem?

The motor might be running a bit on the rich side and its fine when in the higher revs but when coming to a stop its too much fuel for idle and causes the motor to stumble. Id say its probably the tune. But isnt so bad that it is an emergency.
