    scanmaster o2 question

    I just hooked up my scanmaster today, started the car up and it is reading 370-400 mv at 0.0 retard at idle. I read in the instructions that it should be reading 790 mv on pump gas. Is that at WOT or do I have a serious lean issue? The car seems to run fine, idle is a little rough though.
