O2 Sensor and Resistance

[mpeters6@rochester.rr.com (Marc Peterson)]

Resistance would increase, so voltage drop would also increase...we are
talking increments of .1 volts here.  So, lower voltage would indicate a
leaner mixture to the computer, so the computer would try to adjust the
mixture richer...

So, higher resistance = lower voltage = richer than idea mixture.
