Im real worried, PLEASE!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!

well the second 02 sensor further down the exhaust shouldn't matter if it is unplugged, it has no worries on mine

the hardpipe you are talking about on the intake manifold that points down should be going to the egr vsv... is your egr still on there or have you removed it?
it's a good thing you plugged it for now as leaks will create high idles

make sure that your pcv lines aren't blocked causing excessive crankcase pressure
there should be two lines coming off the valve covers, and one off the throttle body venting back into the intake

have you made sure you don't have an oil leak, ensure your oil level is full

the ticking may also be an exhaust leak, next time pop the bonnet and have a listen and see if you can determine which part of the engine it is coming from

and as said previous, don't clear your codes, read them and then get back to us with the codes so we can help you further

I agree with the pcv valve theory. also did you replace the intake hose with an aftermarket piece or factory..remember you should have the pcv gasses entering back in to the throtle body..

The smoke thing, sounds like your PCV system got a gulp of oil somehow when you stopped....As long as it didnt do it more than once your car isnt burning oil. And if you said its disconnected (couldnt really unbderstand what you meant) That would be my reasoning... If it smoked and that is broken, That is a source for oil getting into your engine. Especially if your oil level is too high. I have another odd question. My egr system does not work. And i was thinking for inspection, Could i just use some plumbing I have and run some exhaust gas into my air filter and use a ball valve to control it and see if it lowers my nox or anything? Im getting a new cat and another new 02 sensor, so that stuff will be fine. But i want to pass this time. I just need to do this temporarily for an hour or so to get through inspection. Im trying to get a shop let me run my car on the exhaust thing, and playing with the AFM and this ball valve thing to see if it does anything. Im also gona seafoam the crap out of it, Cause i have some carbon build up in the intake.

carefull with using too much of that intake cleaner, it can definetily destroy your cat if used execively for an extended period of time...
