Sorry, poor choice of words. I shouldve said universal, not generic. It was a Bosch universal sensor.

From those codes, it's looking like both sides are running rich. You have two fueling codes for each bank, but I'm wondering whether one of the vacuum leak codes (secondary air or evap) is triggering faults in the fueling measurements somehow. As for the cam sensor, if that's a true failure, I have a couple spares and can hook you up cheap. It's indicating bank 2, which takes about 10 minutes to change with an 8mm socket and a flathead screwdriver.

The car takes a long time to warm up too? Once it's warm, does it cool back down while driving? If so, your thermostat has failed. We did mine two weekends ago. Not hard but time-consuming. If you take it somewhere, you'll pay $500 to have a $13 part changed.

I can believe the MAF being the problem too - did you already try cleaning it? Is there anyone local to you that would swap MAFs to try it out? Swap them, clear codes, and see what happens?

Very possible that it got messed up. If you need a stock box, I've got one I can send you. The parts list you emailed me listed a crank position sensor but your code was for a cam sensor. I've got that too - the code you're seeing isn't indicating the crank sensor so that'd be a wrong part. I'll talk it over with you in a little bit.

with all those codes i would figure on the MAF, or possibly a leak, over the 02 sensors.
