erratic o2 mv readings
Anyone know why my o2 sensor mv's would be reading like this at idle? Could i have a cylinder running lean as in maybe leaky gasket with coolant? It stays in a steady pattern. If so is there anyway to locate that cylinder without pulling plugs, etc.?

There is no real way to reverse engineer which O2 reading correlates to which cylinder.
The O2 toggles as rich, lean, and inert slugs of gases pass it. All that shows is that it's working. The BL/Int, show weither it's rich or lean, as an average.

What Grumpy's really saying is it's supposed to do that! Looks like it's working pretty normal to me......
