Thanks for replying Mark.

My Westy is a 1987.

I have been thinking about substituting a rheostat for the Temp II sender so
that I can control that variable. I could then  observe the O2 voltage as a
function of the TII voltage.  Perhaps more importantly I could observe the
drivability as a function of TII voltage.

Has anyone solved for the resistance of the TII sensor from the observed
voltage across it and correlated this with a water temperature measurement?
