The fog lights were causing the O2 signal drop. Havent rewired them yet, so don't know if it was wiring or just the amperage draw.

It's the way they're wired.

They they ARE wired (like from the factory), or the way they WERE wired (like I had them miswired)?
Thanks

It's the way you wired them... I'd say most likely you're asking too much of an inadequate ground. How did you do their wiring?
An accessory drawing a lot of current from the battery/alternator should never cause sensor signals to bounce like that.

Drove around about 20 plus miles so far today. No problems. Crossing my fingers!

Fingers broken.
Wagon ran great all day. Nary a miss. Boost on and off around town.
Got in to drive a mile or so tonight at 7pm and whammo, problem back.
Next step, clean air filter really well (its an oil style) and check maf.
Bought a Helmet today though!

Cleaned the air filter and more importantly, cleaned the MAF element. It was DIRTY! bleach. Cars runs much much much better now. Don't know if this cured the problem, but in general, cleaning the MAF really smoothed out the idle and acceleration.
