Frank,

I like the explanation.  But I have a few questions:

1)      why not use the connector off the O2 sensor you are removing to affix to
the Ford connector?
2)      The way I understand this whole O2 thing is that it is a binary value.
Why not remove it from the exhaust, plug it, and simply put a switch on the
dash to flip when it starts running rough or when it is cold? (kind of like
an old fashion choke)

Thanks
Jere
