bad O2 sensor causing misfires and PTE tstat failed

Just had some warranty work done, a faulty 02 sensor was causing cyl 1, 3, 4 to misfire, weird. Didn't think it could do that.

Also had to have my tstat replaced as the PTE one failed. Strange.

I would think a MB dealer would find a running cool condition and blame a tstat, if that was the case.

Real Cars
Modified t-stat + big H/E will throw those codes... I get a code now and then for car not getting up to operating temp with just my H/E...

i've been getting a coolant leak from the high pressure system too. can't quiet narrow down what's leaking.

i get those codes occasionally too especially in the cold, but thats just what you have to deal with if you want to run a cooler TSTAT

I've got an occasional miss and a 0106 code whenever that happens, which is like a O2 bank 2 rich IIRC, also get high idle / running rich codes. Were you having similar issues?

I was thinking bad coil, but maybe I'll change that sensor instead.
