I have developed a persistant stumble in acceleration around 1500 rpm. Stumble appeared after hammering off the loose heat sheilds and also replacing a siezed up air cond. commpressor. Car starts and runs fine otherwise. Normal tune up measures have not helped and dianostic codes are normal. My suspicion is O2 sensor needs replacement, (may have been damaged when I was beating on those heat shields). Digital volt meter readings on O2 sensor output range from .05 to .7 volts at idle, .8 volts when operating at higher rpm with induced richness, and .015 V at idle with small vacuum leak. Does replacing the O2 sensor sound right? Any other suggestions?
