Thanks Tony, I'll give that a try and let you know what I come up with.

Thanks Tony, I'll give that a try and let you know what I come up with.
Well, the connector was sending it the correct voltages, however, the current to/from the circuit was much lower than expected. When I pulled the sensor out, it was covered in black soot. I cleaned the soot off with some carb cleaner, and after re installing the sensor, I got a p0134 code. "Sensor no activity". Ideas?
Did you plug it back in?
Run the wiring and look for any bare spots. Might have to end up replacing the sensor.
You killed the sensor. I know some have cleaned O2 sensors and have had luck but those are few and far between. There is really no effective way to clean the sensor. I could go into alot of technical mumbo jumbo on O2 sensors but I'll keep it simple: Ya killed it if the circuits and connections are good.
Black means rich. Can be normal if he's been running it for short periods trying to fix something.
This is what I'm thinking. This dumb thing has given me 3 different codes since moving it into my headers. I'll look again for damaged wiring first, though.
As far as "killing the sensor". I doubt carb cleaner killed a sensor that can survive 500 degree heat. I'd imagine I damaged it when I used a propane torch on the manifold while forcing it to unscrew. Possibly that's the root of my problems.
I HAD THAT CODE TOO HAD VACUUM LEAK BEHIND MASTER CLY THE FRONT BRAKE BOOSTER SEAL WAS TORN REPLACE SEAL TOOK CABLE OFF BATT IT WENT AWAY.CODE PO 171 VACUUM LINE ,MAF PO 171 SYSTEM TOO LEAN (BANK 1). HAD BOOSTER TROUBLE REPLACE SEAL BOOSTER OK DID NOT HAVE TO REPACE BOOSTER WAS VACUUM LEAK BRAKE BOOSTER FRONT SEAL HAD TO PICK UP AT JUNK YARD NO ONE HAD IT IN AUTO STORE OR DEALER CHECK OBD-II Trouble Codes - DTC Codes Car Repair
FIXED! Installed new Denso O2 sensor, no more codes, no more problems. Runs great. Thanks for the troubleshooting steps guys, this time the fix wasn't the most probable one.
