Checked my O2 sensors today, they were both good, Seimans VDO 5WY3173A with 7M12 stamped on the shoulder of the 22mm hex head.

Learned something I thought was interesting, when cold, the white lead for power measure about 6 ohms and the sensor lead measure open. If you power it up 12 volts, it draws 2 amps. As it was heating up, I was measuring resistance and saw the resistance go from open to zero to negative. That only happens when you are measuring a voltage with your meter on resistance.

The output appears to be a voltage from about .65 volts to - .025 depending on which way you hook up your leads.

On mine, when in free air or with air from my air compressor blowing on it, it measured -.025 volts, when I lowered into a can with gasoline in it, not into the gas, just above it, the voltage went to .65 volts, when I blew on it, it went close to 0 volts, when exposed to butane gas from a lighter, not lit, the voltage went from -.025 to about -.010, but I don't how much gas I was getting on it, shut have tried a lit lighter, but I didn't think to.

I have been having a tough time starting my Trooper, which is why I was checking the O2 sensors and I pulled the IAC and after cleaning it good, inside and out with brake cleaner fluid, I plugged it back and had my wife turn the key on while I watched the IAC. It ran and moved the "bullet" up so far that I couldn't put it back in. To get it back down, I had to squeeze it while my wife turned the key on and off several times, I could keep it from coming out any further, but couldn't get it to go back in until I opened the throttle and blocked it open. Then it backed off and I installed it.

After I got my Trooper running, warmed up, driven around some, and parked in the garage, I unplugged the IAC to see if it starts up OK after it cools and has set for a while. If it does, I'll cover the terminal and leave it that way.

around here if you blow on it and it goes above .08 it means your above the legal limit(LOL)

Your 02 sensor should not cause hard starts because the computer should be in an open loop which means that the computer is using a pre programmed fuel map and not looking at the 02 sensors. Also your sensors need to be hot to be tested some people use a torch but you can hook up the 2 wires on the sensor that are used to pre heat the sensor with 12v to get the system into a closed loop quicker. My trooper used to start bad and surge at idle but it was because it went for a swim and the computer isnt sealed up at all. Anyway hope you find it

      Bighorn 500 no electrical power
      By Wranglerron
      I have a Bighorn 500 that I use around the yard to move small trailers and trash. Tried to crank yesterday, no electrical power. Changed battery, checked fuses, turned key, nothing. No lights, no horn or anything electrical. Any ideas?

      2021 UTV 400 going downhill something releases to "Neutral" loud Clacking noise.
      By Robert B
      Going down a 20 deg hill engine is holding UTV back. Then something releases like going into Neutral and makes a loud clacking noise. Have to use brake to slow UTV down. Then once level it shifts back into gear. Have done shift extension does not pop out of gear.

      HISUN 800 Strike ( Coleman ) Crankcase sensor problems?
      By JoeK
      I have a 2009 Hisun 800 Strike (Coleman) with crankcase speed sensor problems. Startup runs great for a while till it heats up. Than the rpm will increase slightly above 2.0 at idle and will not shift into gear because of the high idle. It will start to run rough and have no power like a timing belt jumped a tooth or like the motor is starving for air and just stop running???  Let it cool down and it will start normal but repeat the same symptoms again. Replace the crank sensor several times but it was only a temporary fix.  Need help Thanks!!!

      2015 Massimo MSU500 No power to fuel pump
      By sle2115
      2015 Massimo MSU500 was running fine, just died while idling.  I put a new fuel pump in as the original was getting noisy, but didn’t solve the problem.  I don’t see any damaged wires, and this is the first issue I’ve ever had with it.  I can hook a 12v battery to fuel pump directly and it starts fine, haven’t tried to drive it but assume it will run fine if there was power to fuel pump.  While I haven’t continuity tested the ground, I have proved the plug and there is no 12v on the appropriate wire.  As I said, plug off, alligator clip jumpers to appropriate fuel pump pins and it runs fine.  Fuse is good but looks like relay is only replaceable via replacing the whole firewall mounted unit.  Any good way to test that relay?
