Well I read the entire thing and learned a lot. Thanks for taking the time.  
So I read  in your message that at full throttle, the o2 sensor is not even 
used so any problems at full throttle will have nothing to do with the o2 
sensor system right? 

 Well I reconnected my 02 anyway and again I had a bad stumbling episode.  I 
am now attributing this to a bad spark plug wire on the number 1 cylinder. 
two days ago I noticed it not sitting flush it was up about 1mm.  It did not 
seem to click in so I twisted it a little and it went in.  Next day full 
throttle and bad stumbling, checked it today and it was up again, pushed it 
back down t. Today bad miss again.  I looked at it just now and it is up 
again. It runs fine with it being up  1mm so I will leave it like this until 
I can get a new wire.  Anyone have a spare 16v wire laying around for the #1 
cylinder?  I can't buy a new set they are just too much money and I only need 
one wire as the rest are fine.
Thanks all.
