David,

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Richard,

 

The attached image came from an RX8 service manual.  It appears that the front O2 sensor heater is connected on one side to battery voltage (12-14V) and the other side is grounded through a transistor in the ECU.  The sensor is shown as a heating element and a resistor in series implying that the current may be self limiting and the ECU is just turning the heater on or off.  I haven't tried connecting the O2 sensor this way so I can't promise that my interpretation is correct.

I am planing to use an O2 sensor from a 2009 Renesis on my test engine. Does anyone know what the heater supply is? I am measureing 2.4Ohm, cold. Probably 5V? The connection is coming out of the ECU.
Would appreciate any info on that.
Still having issues with the mixture setting on the Rotec TBI (Ellison). No real flying yet, just a lot of crow-hopping down the runway.

Forgot to say, under diog. for RX8 they call both sensors HO2 not AF.  ???  David.

Steve, another update on O2 sensor data,,, for a 2007 RX8 frnt. HO2 sensor is read in mil. Amps,,, 1.0 mil. amp is center point under accell is looking for decrease,  under deccell looking for increase,  did not give min.-max. for the high & low that I think could have been useful.  David.

David,

 

Do you remember ballpark values for the amps and volts?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Steve, I'm not sure why but when diog. the other day on 07 Mazda 3 for a code P2188,  Snap-on scanner shows me amps for pre cat. AF sensor & volts for post cat. O2 sensor & that is how they describe them in Mitchel Automotive diog. text.  Hope this helps in some way.  David R. Cook  RV6A Rotary.
