TJ, The wire leaving the ECU to the O2 sensor is coaxial . A center conductor with a grounded shield. If the two meet, symptoms similar to yours develop. It will run fin until operating temperature is obtained and the brain switches to closed loop, where it sees a ground. A ground equates to lean mixture which the ECU tries to correct. Since the previous owner butchered the wire in exactly this spot, I would start looking there. Good Luck Ken Lewis http://neksiwel.20m.com/ |
