I have a problem thats been driving me crazy. Cars been stumbling both idling, cruising and on takeoff. When I look on predator it shows 02s11 has 1 volt when warmed up, which as I understand is normal. however 02s21 barely has a trace, or no voltage. SO that means passenger side o2 is malfunctioning right? I replaced the passenger o2 and it didn't really improve. I pulled the 02 extensions off, since I have longtubes and used a voltage meter and all 4 wires from both sides show exactly the same resistance, so they are ok.

What is the problem? Am I totally stupid and it's actually the drivers o2 thats out? I can't switch them unless I break the alignment tabs off them. Any suggestions? Its very annoying that my baby isn't running 100% and I don't want to damage anything to boot. Any help would be appreciated.

Upstream or downstream?

Rear 02's are turned off via predator. So, to the point,upstream.

How bout the wires going into the factory harness. Not melted on the header or anything eh?

nope no melted wires. The connectors are behind the motor well away from the headers. By the way, I did find an easier way to connect and disconnect them. Take a long, but small bladed standard screwdriver and put it in the connector release. Works to get it apart but also to put it together. Its very tight space up there. I guess my next step is to take out all spark plugs and make sure they show good combustion especially equally to right and left banks. I certainly welcome some other responses.

Btw I've cleaned the IAC motor and the IAT sensors recently. That didn't really affect anything positively or negatively.

mine was doing the same but i replaced the 02's and my tps and the problem went away, do you think the egr could have any effect on this i dont know if any of those are you problem or not but just some suggestions i guess

Take your Predator and turn everything back to stock...then re test everything and see what happens then?

You should never see 1 volt on an 02 sensor. It should constantly fluctuate between ~.2v - ~.8v. Take a volt meter and get the 02 sensor voltage directly from the sensor on the signal wire. If it's constantly reading 1v, it's bad. If the computer sees 1 volt from the 02, it thinks the car is STUPID rich. It's going to cut fuel in an attempt to bring the voltage down.
