she idle's roughly, like really rough, espesially on downshift at a set of lights when i stop, it almost stalls. Black smoke on cold startup until warm, when i give it full throttle at 40k, it hesitates a bit, kinda like it's flooding itself..........

i would be digging deeper! i am no expert but from what i understand the ECU only uses the O2 sensor to make minor adjustments to the mixture

and i thought mine was running rich!!
