No i stille have the problem, i try change the o2 sensor, but dident change 2 much. But i dont know if there could be a problem with the new o2 sensor? The readings i get when i meassure it seems to be wrong, it says only 0,001 volt and do not change at all....

I also have problems with the idle, when it is cold, it run about 2000rpm, when it get hot it fall to 750. But when i drive a little trip, and stop for idle it goes up to 1100 and dont go further down.... If i start and stops the car the idle is perfekt 750... If i rev the engine it falls back to 750. but if i drive again, then it goes up to 1100rpm... If i put it in gear and slip the clutch a little, so then engine falls under 750, and the take the clutch fully agaín, it stabilise to 750rpm again...

Could this problem be related to my high fuel consumption??
