You need the 1.65 volts for the sensor to respond correctly. It seems that you may a bare wire. Follow the wiring back and check for any cracks or rubbing in the wires.

It was hesitating and ideling a little off. So I took it in. They did a tune up and changed the manifold gasket. I left and it was still doing the same thing. Now they think it is that sensor
