Get a Ford Taurus 3-wire at your local auto parts store. I use 1990-ish Taurus 3.0's as an application.

to jim-- now i have good vacuum (17-18) at idle on cold start but my afr is around 10.5. if i unplug the connector for the oxygen sensor nothing changes, so carlos thinks it may be that causing the rich idle

You can pick up a universal 3-wire from any auto parts store. They usually have them in stock. Bosch part #15726 . Cost was $49 though my fathers shop, list price i think was $59. I replaced mine about two weeks ago with it. All you need to do is reuse the old connector and splice the new O2 sensor into it. All connectors are included to complete the job.

Well you have, of course, given the sensor a good 3 minutes, or so to come up to 600 F.??

Stuttgart996

no i didnt give it 3 minutes what is the proper way to test if it is broken?

special tool

17-18 will be good indicator of results from today...
Check the afr after a run to Kristen's house.

This one came with my car (was only used for inspections)... I could probably ship it tomorrow ... PM if interested asking 50.00 plus shipping

The other thing to check is the DME temp sensor. If its not working, the car will never come out of open loop (default rich AFR) and has the same effect of the O2 sensor not being connected at all.

jim call me when you get this so we dont have to keep typing back and fourth like little girls (even though i know you like it)
