Big improvement and more where they should be.ðŸ‘
The code came back as pending so far...i'll see if it sets off the light again. I at least know there isn't a a vacuum or fuel delivery issue with the fuel trims looking better.
Also, checked resistance on the upstream A/F sensor for good measure and they came back within spec. As for the downstream O2 sensor behind the cat, voltage generally was bouncing from 0.1 to 0.9, although I didn't think it was acting strange, but I'm not 100% knowledgeable when it comes to o2 sensor behavior.
Edit: just went for a drive and while the downstream sensor sometimes does fluctuate back and forth between 0.1 and 0.9, other times it does not fluctuate at all and stays around 0.6. The graph it gives is not at all consistent. Would it be giving strange readings because the cat is clogged or would it still fluctuate between high and low regardless of cat function?
