Hi Tom,

It appears you are triggering off of the noise, but we don't see it because you have the low-pass filter turned on. Is that correct?

The O2s wake up pretty quick don't they? An open heater circuit would show up very easily.

Hi Carl,

Yes, it's triggering off of invisible noise.  The low pass filter has cleaned it up quite nicely.

The engine was not stone cold, but had been sitting for a while before this start up.  The O2s wake up very fast and are in closed loop in about 10 seconds.

BTW, the PCM was the test point.  Accessing the O2 connectors on this would be a nightmare.
