http://www.autonerdz.com/cgi/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1094423353 heres one for you rob  Smiley

ps. i'm not biting this time rob, but for some reason you seem to get envolved in discusion ask to many questions and dont give enough constructive answers. only my view and as ive said to you before, possibly in a more agresive manor tbh, hence the reason we butted heads in the past. this is water under the bridge and i'm not holding a grudge  Smiley

Kenny,
You've raised some interesting points here. As someone very new to scopes I appreciate all the advice and help I can get, I understand it's a learning curve.
I have noticed that rob likes to picks holes in practically everything I say, he never gives straight simple answers and comes across as not been very friendly ( or maybe its just me?) I'm pretty sure at some point not so long ago he was also new to this and also liked to ask questions...
At the end of the day we are all here to learn. The new guys and the pro's. In today's motor industry we need to stick together and exchange experiences, as far as I'm concerned... That's how we learn the most.
This is in no way a dig at you rob, I have been biting my tongue on here and on the uk pico forum but please snap out out it, I'm sure one day you will want some advice or more importantly someones opinion.
I have come here to learn from my new purchase and have really enjoyed using it for the past few weeks, I know I have a lot to learn but hopefully this forum and the uk pico forum can help me out greatly.
Let's just get on and move on from this.  Smiley

I must say that I have deleted my previous post. I become angry when co-workers belittle me or inocent others if their remarks are unfriendly. I find that Kenny is brave enough to speak up.
   I think Robski ought be barred from this forum.

We try to avoid that and let the natural consequences take care of things.  It's worked very well for over eight years with one notable exception.

As stated in the link posted by Kenny...

one of the natural consequences of belittling others is that you will likely not have anyone to talk to here because everyone will simply ignore you.


It's amazing how effective that is but everyone has to be on the same page for it to work.   Wink

No dig taken Gruss, don't forget i'm on the public section & certain "Pico group" members don't like too much info in this section & ask for such to be posted in the group section, so it works both ways there !

I could not understand why you had not forced the O2 sensor rich & lean to watch its reaction whilst still on the car,in my eyes you had no real proof it was defective & went & bought another.

Same applies above Kenny  Wink

PS if i help anybody on a forum that isn't just for trade it is done by PM & for which i have my reasons.

Rob,
To be honest I've never used that method before, it's something I've never done. The original capture shows that it's not doing a great deal. I attempted to make it do something by getting the engine hot and revving, it did then start to move to around 400mv but wouldn't swing. To me that was fairly conclusive evidence. The sensor is original I suspect and has been on since 1998, the general engine running has got generally worse and so has the mpg. It cost me £12 delivered for the sensor so wasnt bad.
You can see the new one is working and I'm happy  Smiley

Put your self in my shoes and look back at the replies you gave me, you hardly ever answered my questions.
All I'm after is guidance and opinions, using a scope is a new thing to me altogether, and I'm pretty sure you were in a similar situation...

Your obviously pretty good at using a scope and getting the most from it and one day I hope to be like that, but it's not going to happen overnight I'm afraid.

Can we start fresh and put all this behind us?  Smiley

Hi GRUSS, First, I can tell you that any original O2 sensor from a '90 move is certain to be dead. They do exactly what you showed in the first couple of captures, where it stays flat-lined, very near 0v no matter what you do, or they have very little response on a snap throttle test. These old Daihatsus, and the other kei's for that matter, don't enter closed loop and will stay pretty flat around .4v until you get it off idle. All of your captures are exactly what I see before and after, and I've done plenty of them. With the kei's, it dramatically improves gas mileage and performance.

Cost new for one of these old one-wire OEM sensors is around US$300-400.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt
Thanks for the reply, your probably right with the proper diahatsu price, I daren't even check going on previous purchases. They wanted £240 for a bottom arm! I got 2 for £48 delivered off the net.
Well it's certainly improved the car all round and it lots better on fuel....once again
