    O2 sensor going south?

    When it's hot out (>20C) and the engine is up to temperature (>90C) it will not hold a steady idle. It bounces around and even stalls unless I keep my foot on the gas. Rather annoying problem. Also seems to be running rich as well as I get quite the fuel/exhaust smell in the cabin when coming to a stop. Could this all be attributed to a faulty Lambda/O2 sensor? Is the rich condition a symptom or a cause?
