[DML] Running Problem-Rich Mixture

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

Dan,
I don't understand why you don't wanna hook up the idle speed system.
Don't listen to all those horror storys about that system because it
works when the parts are ok. I told you before - check your wiring harness,
maybe there's a broken wire or something.

For your O2 sensor - where and how do you measure the voltage ?
What kind of tools do you use to measure it ?
I know, stupid questions, but I've seen a lot of sh.. done by people
who don't know anything about electricity.
Try to unhook the O2 sensor and measure again. It's possible that the
computer feeds a voltage back because something inside is damaged.
1.8V is really too much, I'm not sure if or how the sensor should
produce that itself. From the theory of how a O2 sensor works it
just can't be it, it must be the computer or your ground where you
measure an offset due to a bad connection.

Please don't start to throw parts out of the car just because you think
they will never work. They do work and most times it's really just a
small and simple problem that needs some investigation.
I heard of so many cars where the new owners pulled out up to 20m (60feet)
of extra wires that a former owner installed because he didn't know
anything about the car or because he thought he was smarter then the
engineers who built and designed it. After pulling them out and setting
everything how it belongs to - everything worked fine.
I know you can do it better, you already put her back to live,
the rest isn't that hard anymore.

Let me know if you need any electrical assistance or a good schematic.

Problem solved!  I just need to cut the air back manually EVERYTIME
when I want to drive her!  I could just fix my idle speed motor
problem (which I'm really trying to avoid because I'm trying
to find a way to work around it so I will never have to use it).
What about my oxygen sensor?  Well, it always reads at 1.8 volts (and
it should be at 0.5 - 0.7 volts).  I can't figure out the answer
to
this one yet (and I know it is simple, I just think my mind is fried
from working on everything else on the car).  If it has a higher
voltage than it should, does that mean it is getting too much oxygen,
or too little?  I played with my CO adjustment screw and my air
valve; nothing would change my reading on the oxygen sensor.  My only
guess is that I have another bad wire somewhere (or ground).
