I'm lost, as far as the O2 sensor goes.  I had it in the exhaust socket but
disconnected, and no running change.  Checked the voltage with a multimeter,
and it is giving out between .2 and .7 at idle, moves a bit.  Tends to lean
towards .2-.3 most of the time.
      Hooked up, it seems to idle properly at times, right on 900 with no
fluctuation at all, and other times it bounces like mad between 650-850 or
so.  I

I'm going to move on from the O2 sensor circuit and re-evaluate Vac leaks
and the ignition system, and get the exhaust checked out by a shop.  Maybe
it is an Exhaust/Vac leak not allowing the O2 to read right.

Needless to say, I've had the O2 in and out like 3 times, and tried two
different sensors, I'm a little down on myself, but the car is still
progressing nicely overall.
