Did BassinProf just agree to somthing? Only Kidding
After numerous test I really dug in witht he meter to find out what goes on. I found the drain on the electrical from the unit did effect different sensors by a mv drain.
My mpg test from Wednesdaygot25.15mpg. I am still sure the o2 sensors are the result of not getting better gas milage. And I am not sure they are true Oxygen sensors. Even though everything I have read says heated oxygen sensor.
The ecu sends a voltage to the O2sensors on the white wire (around .65-.7mv). This does vary with engine RPM. The O2 sensors modifieds that voltage and the varies from .2mv to 1v.
Tuning for milage says to adjust this type o2 sensor with a resistor on the blue wire and not an EFIE. Which goes back to what I was originaly doing in various ways.
So another few days I may test this idea again and see what happens.

Hey guys, if anyone has been reading this topic from the start you may remember I had a fully operational system that I blew up- totally my fault, I was popping the bubbles coming out of the output line in a bowl of water and I pulled the hose out by accident- blew the whole damn thing up.
It did make me respect the power of the gas being produced as well as make me double think this thing. Not saying we are idiots (myself included) and my engineering degree does give me some design assistance but there is a lot of stuff to consider here inculding an accident that could lead to dangerous situations. Also my friend is on the Phoenix Fire Dept and they have gone out to several car fires resulting from these sytems.
I am going to put mine on the shelf for now. My familys safety is a little more important than saving a couple bucks on gas. We all have that never happen to me attitude until it does - Im the worst at it but this is something to really be careful with.

Well I'll be.Someone has agreed with me.(remember my warnings early in this thread)Let's not bury this subject in tech gargon (sp) when common sense should rule.
haha. I think we all can relate. How may thousands of people got rid of their truck in favor of an economy car, only for gas to fall back down to "normal" prices.
