    Default VT V6 errors need help

    ok i have a 98 vt series 1 v6 manual running on straight gas it has a unifilter rampod and a sports exhaust now i have noticed the fuel economy sucks at the moment it is getting about 16L/100kms in the city and abou 12L/100kms on the highway so i check the error codes and it came up with:

    19 TPS (sticking open)
    35 idle speed error (IAC Valve unable to control idle speed)
    44 LH oxygen sensor lean signal
    45 RH oxygen sensor lean signal
    65 LH oxygen sensor rich signal
    76 AFR variation between left and right banks

    now the oxygen sensors were changed about 3 months ago so were the plugs and leads. What do i need to change to fix all of these errors? and is there a better type of oxygen sensors i could use?

    I once bought cheap oxygen sensors on ebay and started getting error codes within a few weeks. Then I replaced them with better ones and had no problems.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    I think my genuine holden O2 sensors were $160 ea
    what type of gas system are you running? sequential or mixer
    how is the gas system linked into ecu, can the ecu control the air/gas ratio

    it is a airod mixer system with a fully intergrated gas computer i dont know if the main computer conrols the afr but i was told that the oxygen sensors have a lot to do with the system running properly so i will have to change them again. with regards to the tps and iac valves do i need to replace them to get them to function correctly or will cleaning them be sufficient
