Step 1: get an o2 sensor.

...

Step 2: use SOME form of punctuation.

I think you used all your punctuation up there.

Without an O2 sensor, the computer has no idea what is happening to all the fuel it's putting in to the motor. So to be on the safe side, it runs rich, in an effort to avoid engine damage. You need an oxygen sensor, and you're going to get one sooner or later. Put one in and if the problem continues, troubleshoot from there.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to see what other codes the ecu is storing.
