I'm pretty sure you could knock the sensor out for free in about 10 minutes.

2 bucks says it's either the valve cover gasket or oil filter adapter.

That should cause a constant sputter, IMO.

Yea I was thinking same thing but it was bad the gasket was blown out and causing the back fire through intake now time to drive and see if it does it anymore. They looked at o2 sensors and said they didn't look like they need replacing

They found a good used one at a salvage yard that warranties there parts so I was under 100 installed for it. I wonder if that leak could have been causing my ac when accelerating hard blow out of defrost?? They hooked up a machine to it that shows were all the leaks are

Possibly. Depends on how bad the vacuum leak was.

Under WOT there would be zero vacuum. That's what the vacuum cannister is for behind the bumper.

So could the canister be bad and not have a leak? And it was pretty bad they put a smoke puffer type thing on it and it was pouring out

It could be. The gasket would need to be replaced either way if it's that bad.
