DPR question

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Cathy - I can't remember if the 16v has a separate O2 control box like the CIS-
L cars, but if it does, make sure it's getting power. Also, try swapping a 
known good one if possible. I had a similar issue when installing my dash - I 
had forgotten to reconnect the power supply conector and it ran like crap...

HTH, JT
