    for a BMW K100RS that has a slight case of hesitation
    so far all it does is respond to a unlit torch, i need to make a pipe to put in the muffler
    once i get the beemer sorted out, if i do, i'am going to see what it does on the XJ with dual mufflers

    yea, Fluke 87 not mine but mine to use as long as i keep my job :)
    i coulden't wait, i just put it in the muffler and tried it and all the FI tricks work and it proves the plug read is right, way lean
    got to make a pipe for it though

    Question on that O2 sensor, if I may. Is that a heated version, and if so, do you just hook the appropriate wires straight to the battery, or...?

    this
    is the one i used, 4 wire, just hooked it up to a 12v battery
    draws about .8 amps
    so far my old (94) ranger varies by hundredths
    the09 sportage varies by thousandths
    and the bmw is all over the place and not repeatable, it needs work :(
    i'am going to try the maxim later but it hasn't been run this year yet so
    i don't know what to expect

    success! the maf unit needed cleaned, runs like new again :)
    the Maxim looks like it idles about 13.7/1 or 750/800 mv so it's rich but
    that's better than lean
    what i need to see is where a color tuned bike comes in
