    Both problems are when the car is hot (>30min or more driving)
    1) low rpm jerk. not sure if it's pinging, but at any speed, if my rpm is below 2k and i accelerate, it'll sometimes jerk once or twice and then resume accelerating. once it reaches 2+k rpm, it won't happen anymore. when the car is cold and perhaps the first 15min of driving, it won't do this at any rpm, any speed.

    2)
    -drive for 15 mins, turn off, restart after any time = normal idle
    -drive for 30 mins, turn off, restart after 30 sec = normal idle
    -drive for 30 mins, turn off, restart after 10 min = idle at 500-600rpm
    -drive for 1 hour, turn off, restart after 10 min = idle at ~500rpm
    -drive for 3 hours, turn off, restart after 10 min = idle at 350-450rpm (easily stalled)
    at any of the above abnormal idle speed, it goes away in 1 minute of low rpm, it will slowly climb back up to normal idle. if i restart the car after a longer amount of time, like 30 min, the idle will be normal again as the engine has gone back to it's cold start routine.

    i DO have a check engine light CODE21: O2 sensor, which i've replaced with a brand new NTK sensor but still gives me a CEL. Not sure if the wiring is fuu'd, but i'd appreciate it if someone showed me where the O2 sensor wire leads to.

    Did you reset the ECU after replacing the O2 sensor?

    yes i did. O2 sensor problem has now been fixed. a portion of the wiring has brittled away near the exhaust manifold area and now i have no more CEL. but issues still persist
