I plan on taking it to a shop next week. Really I am. The problem is that driving from Lakeland to Tampa going 45mph sucks, not to mention Risky!

I went ahead and UNPLUGED my O2 Sensor. The check engine light is now on. I drove it around looking at my EGT gauge. My gauge is now reading 10,000 degrees instead of +12,000. I drove it up to 75mph and it ran around 11,000 degrees. Much better I, wouldnt you say?

For some reason I was expecting that UNPLUGING the O2 sensor would make me run super rich and therefore I should have black smoke coming out of my exhaust.

No smoke whatsoever.... go figure. I will make an appointment with the shop, but at least now... I feel better driving it on I-4 now.
