The chart was indeed WOT runs then. So your stating one thing but providing
data to support another condition entirely? I'm confused. Considering that
the PCM is only in closed loop under cruise type conditions, and that the
O2 sensor is ignored under open loop - then this device is doing nothing
under open loop if all it does is modify the O2 sensor signal seen by the
PCM.

How many wires are going to it? If less than 5 - it is a narrow band
sensor. Also a wide-band sensor w/associated electronics to drive charge
pump and provide a voltage out is normally selling for $1000-$4000. Sounds
alot like its a narrow-band sensor.

CARB EO# does not prove that the device actually helps the situation, it
only proves that it shouldn't hurt the situation according to their
testing. I could get a CARB EO# for the "Helix PowerSpacer" if I wanted to
waste money.
