Re: [DML] O² Sensor Diagnostics

I'm assuming the car is FULLY warmed up. If that is
the case, I'd suspect the O2 (my email won't do the
tiny little 2) sensor. 

Frankly, with the turbo set-up, I, and others, often
run the car with the sensor disconnected. In fact, I
have a Hobb's switch that fools the sensor when boost
is acheived and allows the car to run "full rich".

Except for emissions testing, you might just try
running the car with the sensor disconnected. It
won't hurt anything.
