Just a follow up to the previous post. The oxygen sensor voltage seems to
be swinging between .1-.7 volts with the engine warmed up. Thanks for any
help  that you can offer fellow vanagonauts.

I'm  having an intermittent rich running problem with my 90 2.1 liter
Westy.
This was the same symptom that I had that was fixed 13 mos. ago with  a new
temp  II sensor. This has been replaced with no effect. One  other
interesting thing  that I noticed when attempting to install a  wire to
feed an oxygen
sensor  monitor was that just connecting an  additional wire to the sensor
causes an  immediate rich running  condition. I had a problem this morning
when the engine  was started  cold with running rich also. Am I looking at a
problem involving   cleaning up some grounds again. I'm thinking that I may
also
need to test  the  voltage coming from the sensor and also at the ECU. Any
ideas  towards diagnosing  this problem would be greatly  appreciated.
