Default Re: E85 calibration for emissions testing

Jep,

As I understand it, the OE switching oxygen sensors switch at a ratio of oxygen in the exhaust verses the 20.8% in the air. That represents stoichiometric combustion of gasoline. The ratio is very different for stoichiometric combustion of ethanol, so a switching sensor calibrated for gasoline would not work correctly with ethanol.
