Hi Steve!
I sure hope you wanted to say 700 - 1000 RPM ;). I don't think this engine
is even capable of reaching 10000.

You said that the car sat for 5 months. Did you drive it yet? Or was it just
idling? If you didn't drive it then go outside, get into your D and drive
it! It's FUN ;). Drive it for some 20 - 30 minutes - highway preferred. It
is possible that your O2 sensor might start working again. Of course if the
sensor has more than 30,000 miles on it it's time to replace it.

Hope this helps
