might be onto something here.
I recommend, for the sake of the ecu...........never disconnect anything
while it's running, though I would think there's hardly any worry
disconnecting the oxygen sensor signal wire while it's running.

I've never run across this at all, but I have read about shorted to ground
02 sensor wires on this list.
