PVC = poly vinyl chloride
PCV = positive crankcase ventillation

An exhaust leak would show a lean condition. I only mentioned it because if the leak is near the wideband, the wideband will show lean. (meaning that the leak is far away from the narrowband)

furthermore, if you want to cheaply change the o2 sensor, buy the cheapest 1-wire you can find from a local auto parts store. You can literally ask them if you can look in each box and price check the 1-wire sensors until you find one that is about $8 or so. then wire that 1-wire to the signal wire going to your
ECU. Once the car warms up, it will start working.
Ok, but since I actually have DataScan, the fact that I can see the O2 oscillate in datascan, doesn't that mean that it's actually hooked up properly?

Maybe the wideband is leaking. I only torqued it by hand. Didn't have a crow foot on me at the time. I'll go re torque it properly.

Also, I got another coupling so I'll try to pressurize the intake again today.
