I have checked this out to find that ECM would be bad. Being If I going this route may I ask one question? Could it be possible that the mass air flow or idle control valve have malifuntion to the fuel be a cause. I have a borrow code reader it read that manufacture fuel air control malifuntion. Leaving me to think of mass air flow or idle control valve malifuntion. Is this possible or not. Everything pass but the cat and oxygen sensor. When I have remove the pre oxygen sensor it was carbon build up. In week time.

Thats a code for the o2 sensors heating circuit so that would not be possible for those other sensors to set that code.
