I will try it again tomorrow when the engine is cold. If I check the voltage between pins 3 and 2 with the O2 unplugged it right around .4 So either the system is running really really really rich (thought these only went from .02-.08) Or my O2 is faulty, what do you think?

I am going to hold off adjusting the air/fuel screw until I get an accurate duty cycle reading. I noticed my alternator is not putting out as much juice as it should, it's only maintaining 11.7 volts. Guess its time for a new alternator or voltage regulator. After I get the charging system back to what it should be I will go ahead and retest the O2 and duty cycle.
Very prudent approach!
