Had it checked at local auto parts store. Shows oxygen sensors both banks have unburned oxygen. Runs fine until normal temp, then idles bad and stalls. will restart, but have to keep the idle above 800rpm or it will stall again.
The parts store said to take it to a shop with an engine analyzer.
I'm thinking a vacuum leak or intake manifold leak.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank You
Allen

    There's no such symton as "unburned oxygen". What where the trouble codes.
    Remember the parts house is a parts house not a professional auto repair shop.
    Post the trouble codes that the parts house read. Hopefully they didn't clear the codes.
