engine was running like crap with no light so i decided to pull codes and got a p013 ... Right oxygen sensor not ready, any suggestions? and also recently the cars been running like crap at idle (throttle body has been cleaned) getting about 12 mpg and i can smell a real strong smell of gas in the exhaust, new plugs, new wires, new cap, and rotor, any ideas on that too?

P013 right O2 is not becoming active when ecm expects it should be. Degraded O2 sensor common cause.

think this is just a case of a bad upstream sensor on the rear bank causing this running trouble? popped a p044 of the highway today as well, that one only occurrs on teh highway
