I have been running the Meter Tests on the oxygen sensor on a 81 1.7L FI rabbit, and the Bentley Manual at page 74 of section 4, says that after the engine is started, and runs for a few minutes, that the dwell meter reading should fluctuate. My question is how much fluctuation is supposed to occur. When I ran the test at about 1500 rpm the dwell meter moves around the 45 degree mark, but only plus or minus 3 or 4 degrees, when the engine speed is increased to say 3000rpm, the dwell reading increases but still there is not much fluctuation. How much fluctuation is supposed to occur. All the other tests checked out. The oxygen sensor has less than 6000 miles on it.
