William,
I don't know how fast it'll go. I ran out of road and nerves. I've got
taller tires that match the speedo much better than normal so 80 was really
moving. All I know is it was still climbing pretty steadily and in the past
I would have had a hard time just getting to 75.
Yee Haa!!!

All you can get is 80? I have an 84GL. What are you driving? My
engine is
a rebuilt stroked out to 2.0. Really not that much difference between
the
1.9 and 2.0. I get on the average over 22MPG right now and I can cruise
at
80 and I have number 4 only pressure testing to about 80-90 pounds while
the
rest of the cylinders test at 145 +/- 15 pounds.

Ken,
Thanks for the input. I eventually figured out the hose question with a
little applied logic that I apparently wasn't capable of at the time
(after
midnight). The hose is to be removed from the vent tower and the hose
is to
be plugged. This is to prevent gasses from the crankcase influencing
your
adjustment results. The same reason you would want to change your oil
before getting your emisions test. Wrapped everything up last night and
was
getting good numbers on my voltmeter and your gauge. Went for a nice
long
test drive and got satisfactory results. Was also able to see that I'm
not
experiencing a lean out under load. Although I have no long hills to
test
on I simply floored it for the better part of two miles approaching 80
MPH
and stayed full rich the entire time. I'm also getting very good
acceleration off the line. Our trip next weekend will give me an
opportunity to see how it's handling hills.
Thanks again for this wonderful little gizmo.
Jeff

Jeff;
I do not remove the hose when setting the mixture. I say adjust
the engine in it's normal configuration. This is how I do it before
heading to the vehicle smog inspections:
1> drive the car until hot.
2> turn off engine and disconnect O2 sensor from ECU but leave monitor
connected to sensor.
3>start engine and adjust AFM spring to get O2 output near center of
range. Use the allen socket screw to fine tune.
Of course do all this last, after timing and throttle body adjustments
per Bentley. As for CO, I guess I have always been lucky.
Good Luck and Drive Safely

Jeff Warner spoke thus....
....I temporarily installed your O2 sensor last night in the engine bay.
Very
nice little device. I had to go back to your website (
http://neksiwel.20m.com/photo5.html ) this morning to discover that I
was
in
fact looking at the gauge upside down.
