Hey Stephan,
Okay you mean when the car is turned to on you measure 0 volts or
when the car is cranking?? IF the ignition is turned to off or acc you shold
not
measure anything. I am pretty sure the ballast resistor works only when the
ignition is set to on. When the car is cranking you should see a higher number.
Um, I think....
Where abouts did you put the oxygen sensor mount?? Is it on the side or does it
point down?? I want to install mine tonight but I am kinda chicken to
try to weld up in those tight confines. I might just take it to Midas and have
them do it .
