well I didn't work today.
I was on the way to Brighton at about 8am and my acc belt decided to come off on its own at a stop light. Well usually this would be a simple fix as I thought it was just old and dry from Vegas. Ha ya right. I bring the car to get looked at on a lift and the weirdest thing happened the crank pulley is almost falling off. out of the 4 bolts that hold it on the pulley only 1 was left and that one is loose. The other 3 broke off inside the cam sprocket on the crank.
This is going to be a fun adventure.

did a gorilla torque them on? i've never heard of something like that before.
is there any chance that the pulley might be warped?

ahh ok. See that makes sense. Why didn't they just explain it like that?! Since this device wont necessarily be controlling anything, just reading a voltage and outputting a correlated number would we be concerned with that? I know it is more complicated then that but yeah...
a WB needs a PID to control the built in heater, as well as the pump current.
My understanding is that you generally stabalize the pump current, before you can interpret an output. Hence why the UEGO has a many pins on the connector.

pulley has never been off since I bought the car. I have had it for over 2 years and 30k miles.
Not sure why they broke. I have heard they are fragile bolts. maybe someone did before I bought the car and my driving/power broke them

yeah i'm completely confused on what those prices are for. At first i thought it was for the documentation. I don't think those docs are enough to get going, but i guess once i start wiring it should figure out if i need more information.
