In a message dated 97-09-19 16:30:56 EDT, Sean Bartnik correctly corrected me: << Actually, the oxygen sensor is a battery rather than a variable resistor, since it generates a voltage based on the amount of oxygen in the exhaust compared with the ambient air. >> You learn something on this list every day! Yes, I found the paragraph in Probst. Ok, Ok, I need to recover gracefully here. How about strapping a couple of double A's to the exhaust with a variable resistor to the Control Unit? Looks like you need something on the order of one volt. Carl |
