Hi Shane.

My friend who's also a mechanic has a nice gas tester and some lifts in his shop behind his house. (SWEET) Finding good lift points was a PITA, but worth it.

The Haynes manual states .4 to .8 CO% with the oxygen sensor unplugged. (USA) It also states 1.0% to 2.0% (UK), with "air pump disconnected".

We just screwed around for a while and finally settled on it at about 1.7-2.0%, with the oxygen sensor disconnected. If I wanna change it, I have easy access to the tester. I also want to see if a richer mixture will cool my engine down.

We hooked the oxygen sensor back up, with NO CHANGE. So, I'm assuming that my oxygen sensor is toast (86K miles) or has a bad connection. (the little ceramic connector in the engine bay is broken as well.)

Anyone?
