ugh.... the 02 sensor is in open loop condition when you start the vehicle. --essentially, if you want to think of it this way... when you start the car, and the 02 is in open loop, the 02 reading is pretty much ignored. once it goes into closed loop, THEN the 02 reading can affect things. about the only possibility of damage on the 02 sensor in this case is if the harness is damaged.
as for any other comments, i'll keep them to myself![]()
