    Weird O2 Readings #2 Att mcduck 700 1991

    Maybe the sensor is kaput. See if it can respond to a real rich mixture.

    Put your DVM on the disconnected sensor lead, then ground the green lead going to the ECU.

    The ECU sees this as a very Lean signal and will run very rich.

    A good sensor will respond quickly and put out 0.8v or more.

    In that case, what does it read with the sensor connected?
    The .1-.8 V cycling is only seen with the sensor plugged in.
    60-90 mV is indicative of either a dead sensor or a very lean condition, possibly caused by vacuum leak(s).
