Thats what everyone told me too but I've never had to do it.

I just connected up my meter to the X11 and read out the duty cycle.

Let me know what you come back with.

If you've got a bad Oxygen sensor it will read out a solid 50% after you let the engine sit for abit.

IIRC, the engine start out in pure mechanical mode, which will read out 50%, then it will go to computer control, closed loop, and start adjusting which is where the duty cycle should start to change. If it stays constant at X% then you've got a faulty component somewhere.
