Kenneth, You could disconnect the OXS and plug in a potentiometer with an AA battery. By varying the potentiometer, you vary the voltage between 0 & 1 volt. This way you could lie to the ECU telling it that the engine is running too lean (near 0 volts) or too rich (near 1 volt). Automatically, the ECU would vary the FI cycle to enrich or lean respectively. You could connect the OXS to a voltmeter and read how rich or lean the engine is really running. It ain't elegant but its cheap. -Larry PS. This would not be kind to your Catalytic Converter kenneth d lewis wrote: > David; > David; > I have given this idea some thought.
