I disconnected the O2 sensor and there was no change in the erratic idle. It was time to replace the O2 sensor and fuel filter anyway, so I did so with no effect on the erratic idle. When it idles...

I am very disappointed at the quality of this part, especially since it is the marque symbol, proudly displayed on the front of the car! After spending about $100 on this OE part which didn’t last 18...
