Unhappy 2004 gto trouble code idle problem !

An engine light on my dash came on yesterday. It idles rough and the exhuast smells funny. I checked the codes and they say it's running lean and is misfiring. Could it be air intake problem (leak) maf or fuel pressure ? I put the stock tune back and same problem still exists. Can any one help?

Sounds like an air leak for sure. Check all the vacuum lines, brake booster hose, etc.

Didn't find anything loose. I cleared my codes then got another later. lean and o2 sensor no activity bank 2 sensor 1 . Maybe bad o2 sensor? cleared them again and ran it a few miles no more trouble codes so far.

Sounds like you might have a bad 02 sensor.

Could just be a bad O2. Swap the two front O2's. If the sensor is bad your code will change from p0154 to p0134. If its a wiring problem with the car the code will remail the same

Rotten egg smell is not always the case for a bad cat... Link

Found the problem. The wire from the passenger side front O2 sensor was torn in two places. I must have ran something over because it tore the plastic anchor clip away and was unclipped. Thanks for the tips guys. I'm also lucky it was on the passenger side because the drivers side has alot of stuff in the way.
