Can't really offer any help with your questions but I would like to give a helpful hint to all the boys and girls: Disconnect you battery before carrying out work on electrical parts.

I think its a figment of your imagination. Its not really running richer. If something like that damaged your ECU the car wouldn't run altogether. Something else is causing it to run rich, you just gotta figure out what.

I forgot to mention that it's a 90' G60, can it be the ignition cables or plugs ,how can i check the cables and the plugs??? (sometimes i hear from you guys the term fouled plug,but my english isn't that good .I DONT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!!)

what the procedure to ckeck the plug cables and the ignition coil...????
please help!!

fouled plug means the spark plug is ruined from too much gas getting on it

The O2 was changed about 10000 km ago,its a bosch 3 wire ,i dont know for sure if my incident with the wrench caused it ,but i'm sure that i wan'st running rich, its easy i usually put my nose in the tail pipe !!!!
