RyanD, Nice video, but has nothing to do with my issue. The sluggish in my car is random and it feels like its out of gas, no power, it hasent turn off, but it lacks power for about 5 to 10 seconds and then its back to normal. Im noticing its only at sort take off's.
Oh, Im still dealing with my errore code and yes, Im still waiting for payday, cuz of my broke ass.
Thanks

Just unplug your o2 sensor till you can gather up $40 to get a denso replacement from RockAuto. Running off basemaps has to be better for your engine then it acting up due to bad sensor data.

Like this one.

Did you search at all, Ryan? Code 43 has been discussed at length on this site... In fact, I've given advice myself to members regarding Code 43 and related problems twice already this week... and it's only Tuesday!

The low idle is likely something else. Read the thread in the Beginner Forums that says "read here first". Idle issues are addressed very clearly in there. Idle issues are very common in our cars, and they can be due to a number of different things.

Thanks, reklipz, for that information. All that is found pretty well scattered among the various o2 sensor and header threads on this site, but that's probably the clearest, most easy to understand summary of the differences I've every read.
