Marco,
Sounds good, but I'd definitely go back and recheck
your oxygen sensor again. When things are working
properly, its output should fluctuate between about
0.35 to 0.8V at least a couple times a second. There
are two main reasons why the ox sensor would put out a
constant voltage, the first is its bad, the second is
there is a problem with the injection and the ox
sensor is simply reporting what it's seeing.
You may have fixed the problem, but, to be sure, I'd
recheck the ox sensor's output. If it is still a
steady 0.8V, then you should look for another problem
or replace the sensor. If you're getting a rapidly
fluctuating voltage output between 0.35 (or so) and
0.8V (or so), then you're good to go and can consider
it fixed.
BTW, I check the ox sensor by taking a long jumper
and, while leaving the ox sensor connected to the
car's harness, just peel back the insulator, clip the
jumper on the connector, and run the jumper into the
car to a voltmeter. Then I take the car for a drive
and watch the sensor's output in real time so I can
make sure its doing what it should.
