Replaced o2 sensor, but service engine soon still on

Thanks for the help on the first thread. I replaced the o2 sensor, but i am still getting the same code. I cleared the computer by taking the positive connection off the battery. Could it be my map air sensor or my coolant. the car is a 1991 chevy camaro 305 tpi. Thanks again for the help.

That means you're running rich, not that the sensor is necessarily bad.

Lots of things, but if you have a lot of miles on your injectors, that would be where I would look first. Put a pressure gauge on the rail, turn the key on, then off, and see if the pressure holds.
