Update:Re: Low rpm problem

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

How old is your O2 sensor, or the temp sensor in the water outlet?

That .58v is an average, correct?  How quickly does it swing from one extreme to the other?

A quarter turn is a huge difference to make, esp. when that .58 is not really bad...

David

PS--  I do not recall the correct readings for the DPR at all, perhaps someone else will chime in...
