OK... a real brief recap

EGOR is an exhaust gas sensor.  Unlike a standard one or three wire
sensor, it can read a very wide range of mixtures.  With this device, you
can accurately measure your air/fuel ratio.  I believe that it will
measure any ratio that will keep the engine running.


ION is a device that measures the amount of ionization that occurs within
the cylinder.  Heavy ionization indicates pinging or knocking.  Somewhat
less ionization would indicate that the cylinder has successfully fired. 
The sensor can thus be used as a knock and misfire detecter.



I hope I did the circuits justice.  I left out a lot, but it is supposed
to be a brief description.  How did I do?
