Do the rpm's drop like it's idling? Try resetting your APPS and see how that goes. I too have the same problem. Have u noticed an fluctuating idling every now and again? I reset the APPS and it hasn't done it for a few months now but it still fluctuates every so often just not nears as bad. I can't afford a new sensor just yet.

Same problem I have. I don't know what else to tell u other than the APPS. You will have to reset it and not just unplug the batteries for 30 min. You can find the instructions in the tech facts at the top. Just disconnecting the batteries won't reset the APPS. I'd try this first and if it doesn't help then I'd buy a new APPS.
