I remember the voltage across a Bosch Lamba sensor would be 10 times smaller than the percent CO, so if you got a three wire CO sensor, a digital multimeter, and a 12 volt power supply to both run the heater circuit in the Lamba sensor and supply current for the sensor, you would have a simple, portable CO meter... dave
