so i had the driver's side changed and it certainly improved things, a smoother ride for the most part, and an increase in gas mileage. however some things are present.

-the idle fluctuates, usually hovers around 500
-when the idle fluctuates, so does the thermostat gauge.
-when cruising at around 50+ it will feel like its missing
- smells like its running rich

could it be the computer needs to correct itself? after the O2 sensor was put in, it still bad like before, though after a little bit of driving, most of it cleared up
