MY SCANNER ALLOWS ME TO SEE THE DATA STREAM. THE TWO SENSORS UPSTREAM SHOW RICH/LEAN SWITCHES AND VOLTAGE CHANGES. THE DOWN STREAM SENSOR (AFTER THE CAT) SHOWS "NO DATA" BUT THERE ARE NO CODES SET. ENGINE IDLES ROUGH, IT RUNS FINE UP TO 50 MPH THEN MISFIRES BAD AGAIN. NEW- MAS-TPS-COIL-PLUGS-FUEL FILTER- ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS. THANKS.

I THINK THE ONLY OXYGEN SENSOR DOWNSTREAM IS THE ONE THAT SHOWS "NO DATA" BUT SETS NO CODES. THE TRUCK RUNS LIKE CRAP---

I would check it to see if that is where the problem is. It may not be setting the light for some reason.

You can check the resistance in the old one to see if it is bad, or maybe one or the parts stores will do it for you.

Let me know if you have questions.

I REPLACEDTHE DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR AND IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. IT STILL SHOWS "NO DATA" ON MY SCANNER. ALSO IF YOU UNPLUG THE IAC OR THE MAS IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE WAY THE ENGINE IDLES, WHICH IS CRAPPY. NO CODES SET.
