    sorting out o2 sensors

    So I've been having problems with my o2 sensors for years, and I'm finally figuring out what is going on with them. It would appear that there isn't any voltage, and only 1 of the 4 sensors is reading. SO, now that I have THAT critical bit of information, my question for you guys is this... What...
