[V8] New O2 Sensor- Whhhhaaaatt

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Steve,

Since i'm at work right now I can't verify.  But that's what I recall  
from the Factory Manual reading of yesterday.  Yeah, I looked twice,  
too.  I thought the resistance value would/ should be much higher...

Will recheck when I get home.
