Karl,
thanks again for your help.  And, thanks again to everyone else.

I would have cancelled the trip if I hadn't isolated the problem.
The breakthrough was understanding that the soot in the exhaust was
causing my new O2 sensor to get clogged up.   Also, it's possible that
I was getting poor ground connection.

Now, I can think about the lake and sunshine instead of fuel and air.  :-)

Regards,
Craig
