As for your o2 sensors, maybe you should check your wiring running from the ECU to the o2 sensor and also check your grounds to make sure nothing is shorting out or damaged in any way. If you don't want to destroy your car, I would avoid running it lean unless it's for short distances like 15 miles or something.

I checked the wiring harness to the ecu and it is ok as for the lean part it has to do with the o2 sensor i unplug it and it runs fine don't know if it is as rich with the sensor plugged but i bought a new one Thanks for your help i will see how the egr is after i plug in the new sensor.
