Ok, checked for 12v across the 2 white wire's, and the multimeter returns with 11.4v, so good enough for me.
On the other hand, I checked the signal voltage again today, as the car was already running (cold), I hooked the multimeter up and got .463v +/-.005v in variation, so I left the car to warm up and on occasions, revved her up to around 3500-4000rpm. but as she warmed up, the signal voltage just kept dropping (even when revving) and eventually reached .169v (would that be lean or rich?)
Anyway, even after a drive, the voltage still didn't go above .169v, so I think the sensor is on the way out, but very slowly.
