Zoltan,

Before you go any further, make certain that the shielding on the OXS sensor
wire has not worn through the insulation of the inner conductor.  This often
happens right at the end of the thick green conductor under the boot where it
connects to the lead from the OXS.  If the shielding contacts the inner
conductor, it will drop the OXS voltage to ground and the engine will run richer than
hell.
