p0300,p0151,p0174,p1153 Rough idle, bad gas mileage, hesitation on first acceleration. Changed plugs and air filter, cleaned MAF sensor. This did not work, so I disconnected the O2 sensor b2 sensor 1. Now it runs fine, could this mean the sensor is bad or the catalytic converter or something else? Should I change O2 sensor then go from there?

Most of those codes are pointing to a lean condition on the passenger side. It could be a bad sensor but it's more likely that it is really running lean on that side. Check it real good for any vacuum leaks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Checked for leaks in the vacuum system, and no visible signs. The fact I disconnected the O2 and it ran fine, would that not indicate an O2 is bad?

Air leaks are not something that is visible. It has to be smoke tested or artificially enriched. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Tony: I've had some luck using carb cleaner at suspect leak areas and if idle (do at idle) changes there's something wrong there. OE gaskets stink IMO. Not like the old days. If you try that - cooler engine helps and don't point at hot items, T PS: Newest car 1989 - the day/year the music died! (Don McKinley?)
