still having proplems took it to chrysler to read the codes 1) oxy-sensor on passenger side going to ground 2)also running rich. Got them to look at o2 sensors seem ok also got them to change plugs.Still runing bad but they seemed to think that passenger side cat was in a bad way causing the engine breathing proplems and also causing rich mixture.They thought this because white dust was coming out of the exhaust.I guess next job is to remove cats and replace oxy-sensors.(cats are 3" stainless steel from jonB only 6000miles on.Your comments or ideas please

The lastest news is that the 02 sensors seem ok and have been cleaned (no service light on )but the right hand side cat was blocked.This would also make the engine run rich on one side.The work shop next to mine is Tig welding a 3" piece of stainless steel in place of the cats ( had to buy 6m of it so plenty left over )so hopefully up and running tommorow.
