Update - I am... ashamed.

To those who said 02, I owe you a six pack. Assuming you're of age.


Well, now that I have all of your attention, I wanted to ask, what should my oil pressure be at idle? And also, why would my idle bounce from 750-800?

I'm gonna do my own investigating, but I was just curious if you all had any ideas.

I'm working on it now, and I got it to chug again. I gave it the throttle for 30+/- seconds and it smoothed after that. Gonna keep playing with it.
upstream will wreck fuel mileage/idle/ and general driveability

how did you fix the wiring?
