It better be what it seems to be (O2 sensor) - UPDATE: Nope, the LH is bad.

I did a timing belt job as it was due. Things looked fine except for worn cam gears, but I replaced most everything, as you should. When I took the old gears off, I marked their position. When I installed the new gears in the same position, they proved to be about 8 degrees advanced according to the PorKen tool! Whoa! They had been more or less centered on the adjustment slot before removal. I adjusted and triple checked them with the PorKen tool, which led them to be almost to one side of the slot, something I hadn't seen before.
Sounds like the belt is off a tooth? You have to really try to get both sides off, though. (Speaking from experience.)

Just as a data point on to add to this in case others are looking. I thought that was my issue for bad mileage, rough idle, **** poor acceleration was the MAF.
Pulled my coils and found them to be badly corroded internally, you can't see it unless you yank them and look, replaced them and the car runs like a dream. Granted, I did replace the MAF, the plug wires, plugs, temp II previously.
