I have O2 feedback on (pfc) and it cycles between 14.1-15.7afr when cruising, and yes i can feel the change in the "beat" of the engine similar to what Hanaldo is describing, and it clearly goes in time to when the gauge cycles from lean to rich and back

Sometimes it is worse than others but it is noticeable....never paid attention to when it is worse so i dont know if its related to operating temp but i'll monitor it now to see

Either way I just thought that it was normal due to the engine getting varying amts of fuel from being in closed loop as my O2 sensors voltage looks good and cycles as normal .........it does not do it if I turn off O2 feedback

hmmm..not connected as in not wired?

Effectively, yes. The sensor itself is still in the dump pipe, but the harness has been unplugged. When connected it gives a lot of trouble, made it impossible to tune.

Well then there is no possible way of the ecu seeing a voltage input so I cant think of any reason why the afr would cycle... just saying even if O2 feedback was indeed on and seeing erratic readings from the dud sensor when in closed loop

Sounds like you have similar symptoms but a different issue

It is not unknown for the wire that powers the heater in the O2 sensor to melt through and short the signal wire. You shoud check that loom from end to end to see if it good or bad. I can imagine it possibly feeding voltage or short to ground to the ECU if there is something wrong and seriously messing with the feedback.

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
