We have done all the recomende fixes(cleaning connection and changed oxygen sensor) and it still run terrible. We would appreciate any ideas anyone has on this problem. M husband is a mechanic but not up on all this computer stuff. Thank

Your '91 LeBaron has which engine?

Code 26 indicates high resistance in the injector circuit. Could be dirty/corroded injector connectors, dirt/corrosion at the 60-pin plug on the engine control module (SBEC), or faulty injectors.

Your husband is "a mechanic but not up on all this computer stuff"? What does he work on, then? Computer-controlled automobile engines have been on US roads since 1969, and in universal use for around two decades.
