What are the O2 sensor(s) readings?
Can your scanner read or map the O2 voltages?
If not then use your dvm on the leads.
Check when HOT! 2k-3k rpm.


I think this is what you mean:

Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)1.065
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.573
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.137
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.760
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)1.014
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.304
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)0.949
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)2.980
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.982
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.160
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)0.953
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.028
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.993
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.299
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.010
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.307
----------------------
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 1-Sensor 1)0.992
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 1-Sensor 1)(V)3.300
Equivalence Ration (lambda)(Bank 2-Sensor 1)1.094
Oxygen Sensor Voltage (Bank 2-Sensor 1)(V)3.553
----------------------

So what they call voltages are more than zero and less than 12, and go
up and down around 3.1 to 3.6. So does that imply they are good?

I was going to take the connector apart and measure the resistance, but
it looked like I had to take off the air intake "funnel" first, and
then, it seems, the car started working right!
