so when i unplugged the o2 sensor the only one i have it seemed as it ran a little bit smoother in the driveway..... but i plugged it back in because i had alot of driving to do today..
I drive it to my buddies house im there for a good 15 mins come back out start her up.... she has a NOTICABLY rough idle... put it in reverse start backing up and she almost stalls..... gave her gas and she came back to life

HMMM??
