[V8] poor gas mileage

[allanvega at adelphia.net]

Well, I solved part of my problem. I swaped out the air temp sensor and isv. Now the o2 sensor codes are the only codes that remain. I think the faulty air temp sensor is to blame for my fairly new o2 sensor failer. The plastic housing was melted ont to that resistor looking thingy (not actual part name).Allan
