When decelerating below the fuel cut level or at light throttle the O2 sensor is referenced.... and so on and so on and so on... There are a LOT of conditions to this.

well i disagree according to toyota thats not true heres a link on toyota input senor tech info http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h24.pdf page 25 will explain how the o2 is used. my understanding is that the o2 is only used to keep egt's down while cruising and idleing, and in my opion a larger exhausts is a much better and more cost efficient way to control egt's


7mgte 475 to the rear wheels with no o2 at all unplugged and still running factory ecu and injectors and no e-manage either
