Subject:Re: My poor MPG, O2 sensor seems okay

I expect the voltage to swing from zero to one volt , two to three times a
second at hiway speeds. I also noticed the moving dot disappears for a
second or two as the idle position sensor is activated.

A bad ground between engine and chassis will mess with this tiny voltage.
