next step other than burning it is to try new air flow sensor, however engine operates better with air flow senser disconnected, already spend more than car is worth in repair costs, runs smoother on seperate fuel supply (spraying fuel into throttle body, have considered bolting carby to it just to sell the f---y thing. 02 sensors 20 millivolts, injectors 3 to 4 millisecs timimg unknown, car has done 100k
