RE: [DML] No power on warm engine aka Lawnmower Man

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxx>]

I replaced the filter last year. I believe my problem is a bad O2 sensor. I
put a dwell meter on and got a steady reading of 47 degrees. Even when the
engine was up to operating temp, I got the same reading. 

The DMC manual says that if the oxygen sensor is disconnected it will read
between 40-50 steady. The Volvo manual also says that if the O2 sensor is
damaged, it will operate on a fixed duty cycle.
