trouble code 26

ok guys i went from three codes to 1 after eplacing the ox sensors i am still getting code 26, i have read tons of treads here trying to find a solution or some direction,, i see some things about could be three diff relays , where are they, somewhere else i read that the IAC could set the code,,,,,

any ideas tracking this down would be great... the car is running rich,,, extremely

thanks in advance

One of the "relays" it can point to is the cannister purge solenoid. Another possibility is one of the TPS wires shorted.

Should be on the top of the evaporative fuel cannister, if not on top, follow the lines off the cannister and they will run to it.

Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, the relay should be pretty warm. If it isn't, use an ohm meter between the 2 terminals on the relay. If it reads very low or infinite ohms, it is bad.
