Well its cold and rainy here in VT and the damn bus just started stumbling.
Here's the deal it starts right up and runs fine and then after about a min
or 2 it starts stumbling skiping coughing it does not die but won't run under
load stays at about 900rpm. It has a new splice on oxy sensor I'm thinking
a bad splice. If I want to run it for a few hours with no oxy sensor to test
do I unplug the big plug and the little spade one or just the big one?
Kevin, the big plug from the OXY sensor is power for the built in heater
only. It has nothing to do with the signal to the ECU. Only the black wire
with the spade connector is sending information to the ECU. You need only to
disconnect this wire to see if there is a difference in running with it or
without it. If you think you made a bad splice then you should examine it. The
splices should first of all be staggered so they do not all occur in the same
spot. They must be done in either soldered or good nude crimp connector of
the correct size for the bare wire. These connection MUST be covered with
high quality heat shrink tubing to insure there is NO leakage to the
atmosphere, ground or other wires. All the cut & splice OXY sensors I supply to my
customers include the correct crimp connectors and heat shrink tubing.
