I removed my o2 sensor for the first time when upgrading my exhaust. It was my first time seeing an o2 sensor, I meant to be careful but the tip of ceramic kissed some grease in the engine bay. Car drives but has multiple issues. During idle it seems to have an intermittent problem. Sometimes it idles fine with pretty normal afrs, then it will start running lean then rich, surging and going back and forth. Then it may act normal for a little, then go wack again.
Would the little bit grease contact damage the sensor? I also changed injectors at this same time but under load afrs read 11ish at 10 psi so I?m guessing they?re working properly. It does seem to lean spike in boost but then levels out. Should I be concerned about this too? Before any of this I still had an issue with the car shutting off when shifted into neutral over about ~3.5k or in any amount of boost. This is still occuring.
I apologize for the long post but I need help diagnosis these issues and my project thread isn?t getting much attention. Im grateful for any guidance, thanks. Car is a 1990 740 b230ft with a 3 inch amm and 36lb/hr white injectors.
