I'm moving my post in regards to this subject from my thread about my 2.9 bogging down to here..:he more I've been reading the more I have begun to suspect it may be a faulty o2 sensor.
I pulled the o2 sensor and did the " heat up with a torch and measure voltage test."
Results are as follows:
Voltage ranged in the .8's to as high as 1.32. No issues dropping down once heat was removed.
If this method of testing is accurate then those kinda volts would certainly cause a reaaalllly rich mixture.
Possibly my problem? Thoughts?
update*
Perhaps its just the inaccuracies of this testing method but I just spent a little more time doing it again and got consistent readings in the .89 to .91 volts range when heat was directly applied with the torch.
Update*
Just brought home a new sensor and performed the same test. Voltage peaked around .39-.41 volts. Possible confirmation of my old one being faulty?
