Ok, this is what I did....I bought 2 new O2 sensors and went home and ran a can of Sea-Foam thru the intake.......my neighbors will forgive me someday, drove it to get all of the smoke out, I figured since I was replacing the O2 sensors I might as well.....and then swapped out the O2 sensors.
The car is running much smoother. Will let you know if this fixed it.
BTW, i had put 2 different O2 sensors in when I changed them last year. The Bosch looked ok, however the other brand's (from NAPA) body was discolored (kinda like heat damage to a motorcycle's chromed pipes, the rainbow effect), however that is not the side that is running hot (according to the spark plugs), but it is the side I was gettign the error from.
One other question, when I rand the Seafoam in I got smoke coming up from the engine bay.....this did not happen when I did this before....hmmm I hope I don't have an exhaust leak.
