O2 sensor idea

[Steve Gorkowski]

Isn't this the basics Bruce (NO flame)
On unleaded you can't read color (other than red , way over rich ,way lean ,oil
, and other engine failures ) and you can't use wb O2 alone Bruce , a
accelerometer will tell you when your near the proper AFR (I am now using
standard O2 sensor) . Read that value (led) then do a read of a plug and see if
your not way rich or lean or any other problem.
Then change temp. range of plugs ( hardly ever do this ) . No expert but if you
change type of plugs start over. Every time you rebuild the engine change cam
ect. start over. Change RPM band start over. Index plugs start over.
