SENSOR SEEMS OK

I followed the precedure from SE-R Faq, and checked my O2 sensor.

It seems to work fine.
I checked for fault codes, but also checked the lean/rich
function of the ECU/O2 Sensor using MODE-II.
At 2000 RPM the sensor switched an average of 9 times during
10 seconds, which apparently indicates an OK sensor.

So, now I am totally baffled???????

Think it has to be something like the tranny not locking properly,
or perhaps compression?

If the hydraulic lifters pump up too much does this affect the
compression, e.g. loss into exhast/intake; coz I think I am
running too viscous am OIL.
I had it serviced last time, and the guy reconned that 15w50
was the go, but from my reading apparently you are supposed to
use 10W30, or even 5W40.

Wrong oil is what causes the cold stalling in these cars, just wondering if
the pumped up lifters, also inhibity economy?
