If race gas it may be that, lead, is what is causing the problems How close to the exhuast valves is the sensor? closer is better, more heat Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Remove it and turn the system on while its hooked up and out. Mine is reading wrong right now so I will be trying it for this weekend. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I googled it just for the heck of it and it looks like several recommend soaking it in gas over night and blowing it out with air. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

What can I use to clean it up with before I break down and buy a new one? Psst, you didn't hear it from me but, oven cleaner works pretty good. Spray it down, let it soak, blow out with compressed air. Repeat if neccesary. I've used it on all my modern drivers with great results. If it doesn't work though, you have to buy a new sensor. P.S. Thanks for the advice on the oil supply line for a turbo on small block Dodge. Much appreciated. Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".
