Help the newby out ppl please!!!
Ok so I just bought this 98 blazer 4.3L and I'm getting two p0304 codes and two type of o2 sensor codes (don't remember the codes but I will find out)... The engine is running really rough an sluggish but smooths out at high speed.. it feels like it want to just stall out but never does when I come to a stop, The rpm drops around or under 500. I also notice the oil gauge drops as well in this process then goes back to the middle...another weird thing I noticed is that the car doesn't accelerate on its own wen it's in drive or reverse, I actually have to push the gas pedal for it to even move. could this have to do with the transmission? I checked the transmission fluid an it's actually low and brown (smh) the last owner jus had it sittin. This I my new project I just need to kno where to start. tomorrow I'm going to add transmission fluid and treatment.

Didn't mention this but the last owner had distributor, wires, and plugs changed. But I did notice the ignition coil was still old (most likely the same one from 1998) car sometimes hard to start. Was thinkin about that but u guys let me kno something first
I thought mayb going after the misfire first would be a good thing? Do o2 sensors cause engine misfires and idle problems?
