Took out the Falcon for a test drive around the community after the hibernation.
Ran good but I see the AFR is not working once again.
A new wideband O2 sensor was installed last year, so don't know if it's a lack of use or ?
Did some research and it would seem the O2 sensors are about a 50/50 proposition of them working.
Too many factors can contribute to them not reading properly.
People blame them on being faulty sensors when in most cases, it's something else that's the cause, such as, a coolant leak, running too rich for a long time, PCM not adjusted (I don't have that), etc.
Show this weekend but not a long drive. There's the May 11th one in Didsbury, hours drive, so that might clean it up.
If not, think I will pull it out and cap it, these sensors are not inexpensive and to install another one and have the same problem again is just not worth it.
