Hey cool! As far as I know you and I are the only "verified" cases of that seeking idle being the 02 sensor. Looks like Christmas morning in your garage!

As far as the dieing, it's so supper easy to check the CPS. You just put your meter straight to it set on AC volts and crank it. Course maybe all that new stuff will help, keep us posted!

Only at idle?

I don't feel like reading 9 pages of this thread. Clean tB and IAC? Check CPS output?

Yeah, I was thrilled when I saw that needle staying put! I think it's exhaust smells better too

First thing I'll do is check cps. I'll do that while/after I put my new goodies on! It should start much better after that

That sounds more like bad tune-up hardware or a TPS with a bad spot in it on the engine side.

You'll be fine doing that. I heard Champions are being made in china now by Wunhung Lo and his associates. I prefer NGK. Used them since the early 70s with excellent results.

We probably need to verify the origin of the Champions. We don't wanna be chastizing Wunhung Lo without good reason.
